Saddam Hussein did not set very many oil fields on fire, except a few to keep them from falling into NATO hands. Indeed, that conflict was nineteen years ago, and all fires inflicted at the time have been since dealt with.
A massive oil spill where Iraq dumped 400 million gallons of crude oil into the Persian Gulf has also been dealt with.

Not at all. As villains go, Sadaam Hussein was a great one, and his execution by the new pro-Western Iraqi government was celebrated for about fifteen minutes in the US. However, if he had lived the rest of his life in prison, or in hiding, it would not have affected the US at all. His removal from power in Iraq was what affected the US.

Goal for us invasion into Iraq?
The United States didn't want to invade Iraq for their oil. (that was the earlier answer) The reason why the United States interfered was this: Kuwait and Iraq share oil fields, and every so often, each country is allowed to take a certain amount of oil from the fields. Then, Saddam Hussein decided that he wanted more than his fair share of oil. He wanted all of it. So he blamed Kuwait for taking more oil than allowed, to start a conflict that he might win. The United States thought that this wasn't a good idea, and they decided to invade Iraq to help Kuwait. (the answer to the question) The United States fought on Kuwait's side until Iraq and Saddam Hussein realized that they couldn't win. The Saddam Hussein did something so incredibly stupid. He burned all of the oil! Hussein was acting like a big baby, saying "If I can't have it, no one can!" The United States still won, but the disappointing part was that Hussein remained in power. When the troops returned, the American citizens provided overwhelming support for them. I hope you meant the first invasion, and I !!

Why do people hate Saddam Hussein?
Your so pathetic, you have no proof that saddam hussein killed, murdered, and ruled brutally. And your saying that saddam has WMD. The united states broke their way into iraq forcfully and found nothing. i can back this up because George bush himself said;and i quote; ''we broke into iraq because we thought they had mass destruction weapons, did they? no they didnt''. Thats the proof that they didnt have WMD. His own people love him, iraq was one of the most poorest countries in the world but saddam hussein made it one of the richest. They didnt have water or elecdtricity he gave them all of that. Have you seen the cities the iraq? Im sure you havent so put your mouth where the evidence is. Thank you for your time :)

Why did america fight with Iraq?
Iraq war: Why we fought: our oil was in danger, Iraq invaded Kuwait; wanted to stop Saddam Hussein from giving Al-Qaeda weapons of mass destruction What we wanted: to get Kuwait out of Iraq, wanted to get Saddam Hussein out of power What we got: got Kuwait out of Iraq, saved our oil, we freed Iraq from dictatorship your answer is what someone who supported Bush would say. all that isn't true. Yes some parts are true, but Kuwait was the least of the reason we were and still are over there. The whole Saddam deal was a huge set up. America put Saddam in power.
