I think if the US is going to argue that pre-emptive war is a valid policy for stopping weapons proliferation it would be in it's best interest to convince the world of this doctrine. It would be better to be right than wrong in this particular instance and the more right the better,
That's why I don't understand the point-of-view that it doesn't matter if WMD's are not found. We need to find them AND act with all the diplomatic ability we have to improve relations with much of the rest of the world.
