9-11, per se, was not the reason Iraq was invaded. The US government believed, incorrectly, that Iraq was supporting terrorist organizations like Al-Qaeda and may have been willing to furnish those organizations some weapons of mass destruction.
In actuallity they should not, but some will so others have to as a deterent.
The US has been in conflict with Iraq several times.The leader of Iraq, Saddam Hussein, has, in the past, been a very aggressive leader, continuing to launch attacks in Kuwait, Syria, and Iran.In the early 2000's, the Central Intelligence Agency received intelligence that Saddam had access to "Weapons of Mass Destruction", so President Bush turned this information over to the United Nations and North Atlantic Treaty Organization.The UN took concern over it and requested that inspectors be deployed to Iraq to try to find if Saddam actually did have access to these weapons or not, but Saddam refused to cooperate.In response, the UN/NATO deployed soldiers to Iraq, believing it was a better choice than allowing Saddam to continue his operations in secrecy. This is what led to the 2003 Invasion of Iraq.By the end of the conflict, Saddam had been detained and executed. These high-powered weapons were never found, and some believe that Iraq never had access to them, but such comments are debateable.At the end of the day, it was a good excuse to wipe out a hostile dictator.
George Bush told America it was nessecary to invade Iraq because they had weapons of mass destruction, but apparently, those weapons were never found. Others think Bush actually invaded Iraq for oil. Saddam Hussein was changing excess petrodollars into petroeuros so the army invaded Iraq and took over the oil again
Note: Do your own fact checking, these answers may not all be based on fact.Here are some sample answers from the site contributors:Because he wanted the oil, as the price of oil is soon to rise. He also went into Iraq to get the gold which was stolen from Kuwait by Iraq. He also entered to interfere and make himself seem like a good man while doing so. However, I believe he is in there for the money.The official response has always been that the President and his advisers believed that Iraq was stockpiling weapons of mass destruction and could possibly be a future danger to U.S. interests and security.Many opinions are based on a person's individual perception of the circumstances and obviously their feelings toward the U.S. government.There have NEVER been any weapons of mass destruction found. Something doesn't smell right!President George W. Bush went into Iraq because allies to the U.S. said Sadaam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction. Hussein had killed hundreds of thousands with gas, and Al Qaeda training sites were found there as well.

Weapons of mass destruction by Xzibit.
The current "War in Iraq" is being fought, because Saddam Hussein had some weapons of mass destruction or (WMDs) that he wouldn't destroy, also George Bush accused him of having connections with terrorists.
It depends on the particular weapon. Some were developed in Iran. Some came to Iran from the United States when Iran was under the Shah. Some came to Iran from the Soviet Union during the Iran-Iraq War.
9-11, per se, was not the reason Iraq was invaded. The US government believed, incorrectly, that Iraq was supporting terrorist organizations like Al-Qaeda and may have been willing to furnish those organizations some weapons of mass destruction.
The justification for the US going to war with Iraq is slightly open to question and debate. The main reason given was because they believed Iraq had weapons of mass destruction and they had to be disarmed. Many believe it was simply to remove Saddam Hussein though and some even think it was for reasons of oil.
Well, first, it turned out there were no "weapons of mass destruction". There was no nuclear weapons stockpile. Second, the war disrupted Iraq's government, killed its leader, and disrupted Middle East stability. Third, many US and Allied Soldiers were killed or hurt. Fourth, some experts say the Iraq War let ISIS gain more power.

Some cons against war in Iraq are... 1) We have been fighting a POINTLESS war for 8 years 2) It is costing us 5 billion dollars per month or 11 million per hour 3) There were no weapons of mass destruction 4) We are spending money on oil in Iraq, fueling their economy & they are just killing us with our own money.
