Can someone please explain to me why America is at war with Iraq?

America is at war in Iraq just to hold control of the Iraqi oil field...u know oil is known as black gold..u know Iraq has nothing to do with the 9/11 accident and even Saddam didn't had relations with osama bin laden..and there were found no weapons of destruction too...this make it very easy to understand the situation.

cause bush wants us there, and iraqis are terrorists. Its to fight terror.

i agree with anyone who said that america is at war with iraq for oil.and there is another reason is to protect isreal and secure the whole middle east area and stop iran from domination gulf area which is rich with oil

i think that since the first Iraq war in 1991? well Desert Storm the United States was denied total victory and was pulled out before the fall of Bagdad..well i think Sadaam H. was had a big target every since Bush #41 was in..then came Bush #43 and 911 and then this escallated over WMD (which were never found) and some peopls hatred of the fact Sadaam was thumbing his nose at us...well, we had him in a no fly zone and he could not move any troups without us knowing about it..satillites? but those are just my view..what do I know?

I don't think anyone knows why we are in Iraq...I don't even think we know who we are fighting....there is no formal army there it is just people with weapons...Its time to call it a day and come on home....

Just because the rest of the wrold are just hopeless cowards

It's a really screwed up situation. We're there because the American public believed the pre-war intelligence about Saddam Hussein having like to Al-Qaeda and manufacturing Weapons of Mass Destruction. A bunch of faulty intelligence caused us to believe this and under this false premise we invaded. Then we found out that Saddam never had weapons of mass destruction and there was no real link with Al-Qaeda. Then our whole reason for going into Iraq was thrown up in smoke. The spin machine quickly gave the oldest war motive of all "To Preserve democracy and freedom." When all other reasons cease to exist, say it's for the good of democracy. So, to answer your question there's no reason to be in Iraq right now since all our reasons were based on faulty intelligence. It's a real mess now because if we leave, the country will fall into anarachy (creating a real security threat), but if we stay more and more innocent people die. It's just a real pickle.

it is because geroge w bush's fault, he wants to control the oil on other country and he like to fight like his old man there is no point in this at all, it is not about revenge for 9/11 he didnt even do anything about that, it is not procting america if is he should leave the troops here in the state to do that, somone should send him over there with cheny because this dumb and pointless, there is nothing we get out of it, bien still alive havent capture him, he is the one that bomb the towers not saddam.

Your question is a good one, but I don't think anyone really has an answer unfortunately. I do agree though that it is mostlyl just because of the oil fields. Why isn't America/George Bush doing anything in Darfur? Because there is nothing in it for him? Can it really be that selfish? I wish not but I fear that it is true.
