The coalition is not attacking Saddam to make the world more peaceful. It is attacking Saddam so he can't attack us or our interests, which is itself a non-peaceful act.

I think you're wrong. The coalition certainly IS removing Saddam in order to better ensure peace in the future. That is, however, just one reason among several, which includes the reason you just mentioned.
I'm sure the list of reasons is quite huge by now.
Your comment "which in itself is a non-peaceful act" grates a little too. The piece I quoted above goes directly to that point...... the fact that SOME things in life are worth fighting for. Preservation of future peace and freedom in the world are such things.
