Answer 5

The United States invaded Iraq to find weapons of mass destruction. These weapons of mass destruction were never found.

Answer 6

Because Saddam Hussein gave the impression that Iraq had or was developing nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons and intended to either use them or put them into the hands of those who would.

He seriously miscalculuated the justifiable fear that western nations have of someone detonating a radioactive weapon that permanently contaminates a large agricultural or urban area.

His actions were contributing to the instability of a region that everyone depends on for oil.

Answer 7

Why bdoes everyone forget Saddam's repeated violations of 16 UN resolutions.

For more than a decade, Saddam Hussein has deceived and defied the will and resolutions of the United Nations Security Council by, among other things: continuing to seek and develop chemical, biological, and nuclear weapons, and prohibited long-range missiles; brutalizing the Iraqi people, including committing gross human rights violations and crimes against humanity; supporting international terrorism; refusing to release or account for prisoners of war and other missing individuals from the Gulf War era; refusing to return stolen Kuwaiti property; and working to circumvent the UN's economic sanctions.  

Answer 8

I think those Al Queida b******s just started shooting because 1) They want to rule the world. 2) They think the U.S. wants to rule the world. Here's the cold hard facts. 1) They attacked the World Trade Center to try to make us drop our guards 2) They take their own people hostage. and for what. To get their asses kicked by the deadliest country on Earth. When are they going to get it though there thick skulls that they're fighting a losing battle.
