Iraq has the second largest oil reserves in the world.
By keeping them off the market, the oil barons have increased the price of oil from $25 to $75 per barrel. That means a colossal profit.
Additionally, by providing the public with a whole load of propaganda about Muslims, the public have demanded that their freedoms be reduced in order to gain an increase in perceived security.
You are quite right that Saddam Hussein had nothing to do with 9/11. Even Bush Who's-Not-Sane has said so.
As mentioned in another response, this is all a part of a much larger agenda of The New World Order.

Because America is in the grip of Jews people living in America. ( literally who runs the government of USA. the whole world knows about this now)
Israel asked America to attack Iraq as Israel was afraid of Saddam Hussein. So they created a fake reason to attack Iraq and at the same time capture their oil resources. America still is, in debt from head to tow and this was a great opportunity to in cash. That is how the top criminal country's work with each other.

The answer is that the regime of Saddam Hussein was a clear threat. My administration, the Congress and the United Nations saw the threat — and after 9/11, Saddam's regime posed a risk that the world could not afford to take. The world is safer because Saddam Hussein is no longer in power. And now the challenge is to help the Iraqi people build a democracy that fulfills the dreams of the nearly 12 million Iraqis who came out to vote in free elections last December.
Al-Qaida and other extremists from across the world have come to Iraq to stop the rise of a free society in the heart of the Middle East. They have joined the remnants of Saddam's regime and other armed groups to foment sectarian violence and drive us out. Our enemies in Iraq are tough and they are committed — but so are Iraqi and coalition forces. We are adapting to stay ahead of the enemy — and we are carrying out a clear plan to ensure that a democratic Iraq succeeds.
President Bush

Well, in 1993 when the WTC was bombed, Ramzi Yousef and an accomplice planted this bomb in the underground car parking facility in the WTC, his plan was to bring down the towers and when that didn't work he devised a plan that he would hijack many planes and destroy thousands of lives in one day, when he bombed the WTC in 1993 he used liquid cyanide apparently but not enough to kill, obviously, he went to Usama bin Laden for funding and told his uncle, (kalid sheik mohammed), about his plan to hijack planes and destroy the towers, to which kalid went to usamas side kick and told him of Ramzi's plan and to ask for funding, ramzi tested out his theory by boarding a plane strapping a bomb to the seat and setting it off, the main person he confided in was his uncle, (kalid) who went to Usamas "monkey" and they conjuered up the plan between them which Usama funded, he was arrested in, I think it was around 1998 with many other terrorists and sentenced to 240 years imprisonment. As to whether Saddam hussein was involved is not yet known, but, Usama had an enemy who was working with the FBI, he was later killed by usamas henchmen posing as journalists and blew him up. No shocker there then. The reason I know this is because I watched the two part documentray that was on BBC2 on sunday and monday, (10/11) it was very interesting, I was glued to my seat, the US Government knew about this plot to blow up the towers as early as 1995, yet, as usual they had "no authority" to do this and that! It so could have been prevented if someone in the government had had the balls to say " you know what lets override his decision just go with it" Usama got away from the FBI a number of times, I understand the predicatment but at the end of the day this should have been taken so seriously and not just sat back and pushed their pens all over the place, know what i mean?

I think the underlying reason for war with Iraq was that they couldn't beat the Iranians, so the neocons wanted to invade Iraq in order to have a force right on Iran's border, with the intention of eventually invading Iran. That's why we're building all those permanent military bases in Iraq. I don't know if they counted on the quagmire they got.

Saddam violated 17 resolutions, raped, tortured, and murdered his own people, and dumped them in mass graves like dogs. Saddam is a terrorist, and on 911 we were called to war by terrorists. A terrorist is a terrorist. It doesn't matter what part of the Middle East they're from.

Who said that Saddam Hussain was not responsible for the 9/11 attacks. The President said he was and that is good enough for me. God would not let someone who does not speaks the truth to be head of his country. The Spirit of God moves the minds of the American people and we are his hands on this planet, bringing freedom and justice to the people's of the world.

Sadaam was a threat. After 9/11 our policy changed - we were no longer going to tolerate gathering threats. Sadaam had been defiant of numerous UN resolutions. We weren't going to take the chance that he had something to hide. Sadaam could have prevented this war if he would have complied. No, he wasn't involved in carrying out 9/11. But, in a post- 9/11 world, the risk that he could give or sell weapons of mass destruction to terrorists was a risk we were no longer willing to take.

Lots of reasons:
1. to create a battleground against terrorists so we wouldn't have to fight them here.
2. to avenge the attempt to assassinate Bush 41
3. because we believed at the time that Saddamy was trying to get WMDs (which I think he moved to Syria shortly before we started bombing Iraq)
4. to get oil (in which case, why didn't we attack the Saudis?)
5. to finish the job Bush 41 foolishly left undone
If you look at the Congressional resolutions, there were something like 14 reasons we attacked him... approved by both houses and both parties.
