Zero, I suppose.
pre-emptive would mean that Saddam's Army is about invading/bombing the U.S.A. in the next few days. Given the fact that Saddam hasn't even aircraft and ships to do that, I don't buy the pre-emtive-thesis until CNN and Condoleeza will tell me that such a disbeliev makes me an enemy to the U.S.A: ("Either with us or against us.")
As for "preventive": I have no doubt that Saddam is trying to get WMD, espec. A-arms or bio-arms. Just like Israel, Pakistan, India, North Korea did in the past without becoming victim of a "preventive" war.
It's all about oil, plain and simple. Worth more than such ethic crap like: "Don't wage war on other as you like.".
Guess every country has some reasons to invade other countries if only possible. As a German I'm thinking of a nice German Island in the Sun or a "German" hut in Innsbruck. Nice ideas.
Guess we're looking at exciting new times.
