If anyone remembers the Iraq invasion in March 2003, can you remember why President Bush would attack that country again? I couldn't understand the reasons why.

Answer 1

Read the third paragraph carefully, as well as cited references.

Answer 2

Did Saddam Hussein support the Al-qaida terrorist group?

Also, I think it was a good thing for the U.S. to get rid of Saddam.

Answer 3

In the long run, I agree. Saddam was a terrible person who did unspeakable things to his own people. And, yes, he was thought to be a supporter of al-qaida. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saddam_Hussein_and_al-Qaeda_link_allegations

But it still remains that the people who made these decisions were given bad information (or at best, guesses) about WMD. In addition, it seems they didn't check out the facts and sources well enough. There are lots of opinions about this, and I'm not convinced we know all the details.

Answer 4

Many people and other nations could not understand or believe the reasons why the second Iraq war was initiated by the US and UK. The reasons given (active support to Al Qaeda and development Weapons of Mass destruction) were later shown to be untrue. Time will tell if the results justify the huge cost in lives and money. The current Iraq government is highly unstable. Bin Laden is still alive. Al Qaeda, operating out of other countries, seems stronger than ever.

Answer 5

As Writeacher suggests, the are a lot of opinions. IMO, I think the assassination attempt on Daddy Bush played heavily in the motivation of destroying Saddam. Revenge is a powerful motivator.
