The British expression bloody cheek has been carried to new levels. Do some research on the tough standards invoked largely through U.S. leadership at the Nuremberg Trials.
By applying those standards what would the fates have been of Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and others relative to their Iraq War conduct? If you need any clues read the works of Telford Taylor, one of America's prosecutors at Nuremberg and later a distinguished law professor at Columbia University.

In conclusion, yes, it was preventive war, as Noam Chomsky and others pointed out, and not a preemptive conflict since the United States was not faced with the prospect of imminent attack.
