There could be several responses to the question.The truth might be far from known.The 911 attacks seem to be the prime motivation to wage war.Osama bin Laden believed to be involved in the 911 attacks and the founder of terrorist organization Al-Qaeda (Born in Saudi Arabia).It's debatable weather Iraqi terrorist Groups were involved in the attacks or not.It is also believed that United States had interest in removing Saddam Hussein from power in Iraq.In Dec 2003 Saddam Hussein was Captured near Tikrit and executed in 2006.Several attempts have been made to capture Osama-Bin Laden but none successful yet.
They also attacked Iraq for oil and gold.

Why are Canadian troops currently in Afghanistan and NOT in Iraq?
Canada joined the United States in the Afghanistan War because they saw Al-Qaeda as directly responsible for the events of September 11th and felt that it was their duty to help America defend itself. However, due to strong Canadian Anti-Iraq War sentiment, Canada refused to actively join the Iraq Coalition unless it was sanctioned by the United Nations. As it was not, they did not join. Note: There are currently no foreign troops in Iraq from the Coalition anyway (including the United States) which is another reason why there are no Canadian troops there.
