What was the main reason why Iraq went to war during gulf war?
The reason as to why the United States went to war Iraq remains contentious. The official reason given however was to remove a regime that was developing and using the weapons of mass destruction.The Initial Official Justification was that Iraq was creating Weapons of Mass DestructionThe primary reason given by the administration of George W. Bush was that Saddam Hussein, the leader of Iraq, was engaged in the production or acquisition of weapons of mass destruction (WMDs). These are nuclear, chemical, or biological weapons (examples are the anthrax letter attacks in the US and the Sarin gas attacks in Tokyo--neither of which had any connection to Iraq). It was suggested that Hussein might provide these weapons to terrorists to attack the US. He had already used chemical weapons sold to him by the US against Iran, and also against Iraqi Kurds. Before the war UN inspectors announced they had found no evidence of WMDs, despite unfettered access. After the war was under way, additional investigation concluded Saddam did not have WMDs.
Which of these nations did not support the UN Security Council Resolution 660?
Iraq
Why did the US decide to go to war in Iraq without UN support?
The U.S. decided to go to war in Iraq in 2003 primarily due to concerns over weapons of mass destruction (WMDs) that the Iraqi regime, led by Saddam Hussein, was believed to possess. The U.S. government argued that Iraq's failure to comply with UN resolutions and its perceived threat to regional stability justified military action, despite lacking explicit UN support. Additionally, the Bush administration sought to promote democracy in the Middle East and counter terrorism, framing the invasion as part of a broader strategy in the post-9/11 context. Ultimately, the decision reflected a belief in the necessity of unilateral action when multilateral options were seen as ineffective.

Why did public opinion turn agains the war in Iraq?

What was the reason of US for attacking to Iraq?
Because Osama bin Laden terrorized the US. We then got mad and attacked them. Entirely fact-free. Osama was not in, or sponsored by, Iraq. We did not get mad at Iraq. Saddam violated every UN sanction and resolution imposed on him after he abjectly surrendered to the US at the end of the Gulf War. War criminals who do not stay surrendered, get the war renewed. Those who brag that they have WMD get invaded and searched.
How did the United Nations UN react in the early 1990s to Iraq's violation or an international treaty?
Iraq was expected to honor the sovereignty of Kuwait and if Iraq did not, the United Nations would do what ever was necessary to protect Kuwait. The stances of both Iraq and the UN resulted in the Gulf War.
