It's interesting that post 9/11 Kerry has changed his views on Iraq and pre emptive actions. From a Crossfire show in 1997:

"We know we can't count on the French. We know we can't count on the Russians," said Mr. Kerry. "We know that Iraq is a danger to the United States, and we reserve the right to take pre-emptive action whenever we feel it's in our national interest."

The guy talks about using diplomacy then goes about it by calling Allawi a liar and a puppet; referring to the coalition as the "coaltion of the bribed" and the "fraudulant coaliton"; and then more or less telling Austrailia they're more susceptible to terrorist attacks because they support the U.S. He's a disgrace.

Was Kerry talking about his support of limited air strikes as were conducted during the Clinton admin, as opposed to War?

"oppose Nation Building" analogous here?

No, Desert Fox occurred in December of 1998, the quote in question occurred in 1997.
