That's like saying D-Day is a preemptive invasion
You have no idea what you're talking about. Go do some research and stop spouting off. Going off what you're saying, I could say that 9/11 had happened 2 years before Iraq...but I'm not even going there.
"The Battle of Quebec was an attempt on December 31, 1775 by American revolutionaries to capture the Canadian city of Quebec and enlist French-Canadian support for the Revolutionary War. Benedict Arnold and Richard Montgomery were the two primary American commanders in the assault, which failed. The battle was the climax of the American invasion of Canada, and put an end to any hopes of French Canada rising in rebellion with the Americans." From wikipedia.
Amazing how that's almost exactly parallel to what we did in Iraq...which was invade to motivate the entire middle east region to turn democratic.
