The entire world is NOT threatened by terrorism. It would take a helluva lot more than a few buildings blowing up to stop the world.

Pre-emptive strikes against countries are bullshit. Don't want to be attacked? Build up your defenses. You buy burglar alarms to keep your house from being broken into; you don't go out and start shooting potential thieves because they didn't hop when you said toad.
Shitty analogy. In place of thief, insert "person who promised he would kill your kids as soon as he got a chance" and consider that there is no higher authority to turn to (like police) that will stop him for you.
You're still breaking the law if you start shooting potential murderers.
