well the government said it’s because Iraq had “weapons of mass distruction”. Even though the weapons were not discovered the u.s. pretty much ruined everything. Now there are revolutions and u.s. being the nice country it is(ya right), is trying to rebuild the government.

True Iraq doesn’t look like it was building nuclear weapons. Thats a given. I can agree with that. But they did use them back in the day on Irani soldiers.

and because of 9/11 which i personally think was planned. The media basically told the public that Iraq did it just like in WWI when they used propaganda against germany.

9/11 was planned?!! That is obviously a comical statment with zero backing.
The media did not tell the public that Iraq had weapons. If you remember, only conservative media did that. The liberals wanted to deal with iran instead and there were all these war protests within the United States before the war started. Do you remember that? CNN and MSNBC still to this day have the same rant that Bush went to Iraq without a purpose, yada yada yada…

@My SeCrEt

another reason was Saddam..Bush was trying to finish the job which his father couldnt:bummer:

Its not that bush senior couldn’t but didn’t. Personally I was happy to see saddam go. I was uplifted at the fact that the majority Shias had an oppurtunity of trying to rule themselves and not by some tiny minority of Sunnis did rule for three decades. Its like the Ahmedis ruling Pakistan for 30 years, while Sunnis are the clear majority.

Also as a side note, I thought it was a great oppurtunity for muslims in Iraq to rule themselves for a change. But the muslims themselves started killing their own. An example of the early violence that was started by wahabis, where they started attacking shia shrines and pilgrims, suicde bombing shia mosques etc. The shias started replying after a few years of tolerating that stuff with militias targeting Sunnis.
