A Mind Forever Voyaging
"We" is a problem.. one power in the world should not dictate what others should do, especially not without support of the vast majority whether that nation thinks it is justified in its actions or not.
And the list you mentioned is certainly no justification for any invasion using any kind of common sense or legal argument I know of, considering no evidence of weapons was found. Israel has breached countless UN resolutions, not including the ones which have been vetoed or kept off the Security Council agenda by the US. On what legal basis in international law were the weapons you describe illegal?
And the term "extremism" is another problem, being a derogatory term not suitable for objective analysis. One could easily argue the American government has been extremist in its actions in the past, thereby justifying an invasion of it in your eyes. It's easy to label something as "extreme" or "terrorist" to justify what you've done but a deeper analysis and look at history indicates the distinctions are nowhere near as clear.
