I don't think Iraq must set a precedent, Most who opposed the war dis so *precisely* because it establishes the precedent of preemptive strike. In fact that was Bush's major justification for the War - we must attack Saddam before he unleashes his great, powerful, hidden arsenal of chemical and nuclear weapons upon us, which he could do at any moment! The rest of the world naturally sees it as establishment of precedent, which is why it was such a dangerous blunder. > but if it does, I would be very concerned.

The fact that anyone in a position of power in the US government is even contemplating such a unilateral attack (and Rumsfeld has floated many trial balloons) just demonstrates the foolishness of the administration's world view.
