Originally we had false info about Saddam and he was playing games with the UN so we called his bluff. He was still a threat to the United States and his own people.
The "current" war is really two wars. The terrorists are coming into Iraq to fight the Americans and the Iraqi soldiers. The Sunni's and Shiite's are fighting each other. It's very complicated now.

Money
There were only 3 nations in the world who refused to US Dollars in their foreign exchange - Iraq, Iran, and North Korea - labeled by W as the "Axis of Evil"
Also, we wanted to secure their oil reserves and keep them away from Saudi Arabia

Quite a few Lets see.
WMD!! wait a second they didnt find any. But they did find several factories and labs for producing WMDS.
Oil!! (everyones favorite) Wait a minute we import more oil from Canada then we did from Iraq. So thats not it.
9/11? Wait they say there is no link between Saddam and terriosm. So when he used chemical weapons on his own people that wasnt terroism??

Initial invasion was to bring down Hussein & His Friends.
Then muslim extremists flooded into the country to "battle the evil Crusaders", taking advantage of the power vacuum left by Hussein's removal to sow chaos and kill as many people as they can; muslims, westerners, women, children, it doesn't matter so long as they get to kill.

It is long story. It is not caused by one reason or for one goal.
