Why did you want to remove Saddam Hussein from power?
George W. Bush wanted to finish "Daddy's war" and look good to those pulling the strings behind the power in Washington. There was no real reason to finish Saddam Hussein off, he was a strongman in the Middle East and the United States and other powers understood that style of leadership and as long as things remained "stable" in the Middle East all was good. "W" did it by lying about the dangers which Saddam posed to stability, particularly about weapons of mass destruction (nukes). He lied to the people of the US and the world. We bought his lies and invaded. This is not to say Saddam was a good guy, he wasn't, but there are a lot of leaders just like him in the Middle East and we can work with them because they keep things good enough for the United States to pursue their interests in the world. Sorry for giving such a cynical answer, but it is the truth.

It broke the US's 'Vietnam complex/syndrome' -where it was reluctant to use force against an enemy in their own territory for fear of embarrassing and unsustainable losses.

In 1990 Saddam Hussein had the capability to control how much of the world's oil?
Roughly 10% of the world's known oil reserves. Saddam controlled Iraq, an oil rich nation. Iran holds another large portion. If we truly wanted energy independence we would use the largest reserves known to man. The Green Valley reserve which covers Wyoming, Colorado and New Mexico holds far more oil then the entire middle east. We know that 4 trillion barrels alone are in this reserve. We have another reserve in the United States that covers North Dakota which, while not as large has more oil then all the middle east also. The issue is twofold though. One the left extreme wants us to leave the land natural and the right would rather use the cheaper oil in the Middle East. If we really wanted energy independence, this oil would be used as we speak.
