The 2003 invasion of Iraq by a multinational force officially began on March 20, 2003. U.S. President George W. Bush stated that the objective of the invasion was "to disarm Iraq of weapons of mass destruction, to end Saddam Hussein's support for terrorism, and to free the Iraqi people".
Prior to the invasion, the United States' official position was that Iraq was in violation of UN Security Council Resolution 1441 regarding weapons of mass destruction and had to be disarmed by force. The United Kingdom and United States attempted to get a U.N. Security Council resolution authorizing military force, but withdrew it before it could come to a vote after France, Russia, and later China all signaled that they would use their Security Council veto power against any resolution that would include an ultimatum allowing the use of force against Iraq. On March 20, 2003, the invasion of Iraq began.
The Iraqi military was defeated, and Baghdad fell on April 9, 2003 at 11:16 a.m. On May 1, 2003, U.S. President Bush declared the end of major combat operations, terminating the Baath Party's rule and removing Iraqi President Saddam Hussein from office. Coalition forces ultimately captured Saddam Hussein on December 13, 2003.
Captured by U.S. forces on December 13, 2003, Saddam was brought to trial under the Iraqi interim government set up by U.S.-led forces. On November 5, 2006, he was convicted of charges related to the executions of 148 Iraqi Shi'ites suspected of planning an assassination attempt against him, and was sentenced to death by hanging. Saddam was executed on December 30, 2006.

The people are not the enemies, and this problem reaches far beyond the issue of nuclear weapons. The problem lies between the governments and cultures. What you have to know is that all countries want power and never want to give it up. The Bush administration sees Iran as an obstacle to spreading their their influence and power over the region. On the other hand Iran sees it as their duty to preserve the status quo and the Islamic traditions, and act as a barrier against the western ideology.

Because the US ordered Iran -- a sovereign nation (and not a territory of the US) -- to stop a completely legal activity.
And Iran said no -- which the US took as hostile action.
It's part of the current US mindset -- refusing to put up with their unilateral orders (even if those orders are completely unjustified) it is someone seen as a threat.

Iran wanted to protect its oil from being exploited by the US. Thus, there is fighting between the two countries.

Iran is a threat to Israel, and Israel is a VERY close ally of the US.

because the united states likes to butt their heads in where they're not wanted.
oh, and i heard something about how bush is a born-again christian, and they believe that they have to cleanse the holy land (i.e. the middle east, specifically iraq and israel) of the "non-believers" (i.e. muslims) before jesus can return and save the world or something. i know that sounds like a conspiracy theory, but the man claims he chats with god.
god only knows. i just know i'm moving to france, first chance i get...
