How did the operation Iraqi freedom start?
Operation Iraqi Freedom was the codename for the American Invasion of Iraq. The causes of that invasion are, as of yet, not clear. The government of the United States has posited that it was to find Weapons of Mass Destruction and remove Saddam Hussein from power. Others have stipulated that it was on account of American desires for Iraqi Oil.
Why didn't the US take Saddam out of power at desert storm?
First, that wasn't the mission. The UN only sanctioned a mission to dislodge Iraqi forces from Kuwait, not charging onto Baghdad and overthrow Saddam Hussein from power. The mission was a success and once the routed Iraqi forces crossed back to the Iraqi border from Kuwait after being expelled by U.S. and UN forces in February 1991, the mission was declared complete and a ceasefire agreement was signed between UN forces and Saddam Hussein's Iraq. Since the 1991 Gulf War ceasefire agreement, the U.S. maintained presence in the Persian Gulf since to keep an eye out of Saddam Hussein's aggression. This include the Iraqi no-fly zones enforced by U.S. and British(along with France until they withdrew from the no-fly zone patrol in 1998) aircraft patrols to protect the Kurds in northern Iraq and Shia Muslims in the south from attacks by the Iraqi Air Force, the continuing UN economic sanctions against Iraq, ongoing UN inspections of Saddam's WMDs program, and so on.Second, most of the U.S.-led Coalition agreed to a UN mission to rid Iraqi forces from Kuwait, not going onto Baghdad and remove Saddam from power. If George Bush Senior unilaterally exceeding the UN mandate to spread the war onto Baghdad and topple Saddam Hussein's regime, the coalition that he put up would have collapsed and the U.S. can be seen in the eyes of the international community as the aggressors. I don't think Bush Senior want to with that.Third, George Bush Senior also said the reason why he didn't charge onto Baghdad and take out Saddam Hussein in 1991 because of geopolitical interests in Turkey, Syria, and Iran. As he mentioned in his 1998 book, "The Worlds Transformed", if he actually take Saddam Hussein out of power in Baghdad, Iraq would have plunged into a never ending tribal civil war between warring factions, destablized the region, stregetening Iran's influence, possibly leading to a pro-Iranian Shiite government, possibly cause Iraqi Kurdistan to be destabilized, make the Kurds in Turkey demand independence and start a war there with the help of Iraqi Kurdistan, and U.S. forces would be stuck in Iraq for years in an unwinnable guerrilla warfare with thousands of lives lost and trillions were sucked out from the U.S. of rebuilding the whole country of Iraq. So Bush Senior decide to let Saddam stay in power and keep in eyes of check of factions as well as watching out of Iran. Which i think it was the best political decision ever made by the first Bush administration.Unlike George Bush Junior, he pretty much did in 2003 that meaning no coalition and went onto Iraq desipte the consequences Bush Senior made and cause the world to turn against the USA.

What type of lifestyle did Saddam Hussein live?
Saddam Hussien lived a life of deciete and hate. He wanted only to gain, and never to give. He invaded Kuwait in because he needed to pay his debt in Europe, he plotted to kill thousands of people in the Trade Center and Pentegon massacres(cause I'm one of those Idiots who think Saddam and Iraqi people hit the world trade centres and should be shiped over there for my arrogence), and he hid from his deserved fate for years... He didn't care about the path of destruction he left behind him, he cared only for his next conquest. Saddam Hussein is nobody's hero; Iraq is still suffering from his rein of terror. Now Saddam is dead, and no one cherishes his memory. Sorry to tell you this but Saddam was backed by the America Government for years as was Osama Bin Ladin and Saddam was not responsible for the trade centre and Pentagon attacks. It was all a lie by the American Government to justify going to war. Their aim is to control the natural resources in the region. I do agree he was a tyrant.
