The idea of preventitive warfare is analgous to preventive healthcare. But just as an organ is not replaced in case it causes the body problems, the organ is favoured, helped to become strong so that problems do not occur. Preventitive healthcare is diet, exercise, conditioning, medication, adjustments and well-being. Massive warfare abroad equates to major surgury that the patient may or may not recover from.
By highlighting American policy on nuclear tactics only makes the situation worse, as the "axis of evil" they will now be motivated to arm themselves in defence and would be justified. And Bush, stop using words like "evil" and "righteous". You make yourself into much more of a religious zelot (a dangerous one at that).
USA, you have shown that you can kick ass, and that you will follow through with your threats. Those are valid and important points. Now show that you have some understanding of global political issues, and back off. Get your energy policy in order, reduce reliance on oil that cannot be produced in N.America and get some renewable energy sources on the map. Perhaps then you wouldn't be so inclined to interfere militarily in other countries policies.
The USA has shown itslef to be the most militaristic country in the world. Even your closest neighbours have been at war with you (War of 1812, Canadian British burned Washington DC, USA sacked York (aka Toronto), Spanish-American war to state some historical incidents).
Stand back after the victory in Afganistan, stabilize your economy (the key to your strength), withdraw from disputed areas, cover your asses and concentrate on making your homeland what you dream it could be.
