Well, the answer depends on who you ask. Liberals would probably say the war in Iraq is over oil and that the U.S. wants to create an oil monopoly in which they are in charge of. Conservatives would say that Iraq violated the truce of the Gulf War and also violated 17 UN sanctions, thus war was needed to remove their tyrant (Saddam Hussein) as well as keep them in line with the UN sanctions.
What the differences between Iraq war and Vietnam war?
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.
The Iraq War.
The Iran-Iraq War ended in 1988. The two nations are now at peace.
The Iraq War has ended as December 16, 2011.
No. The Iraq War was not necessary for the United States to be safe and secure. Iraq, although a regional problem, was not a threat to the United States.
Britain.

1. The US is not at war with Iraq. 2. The US was at war with North Vietnam.
If you're asking about the current Operation in Iraq (Iraqi Freedom); NO NATION IS AT WAR with Iraq! Government forces are trying to arrest/terminate terrorists/insurgents.
At current rates the Iraq war will cost around $800B by 2011 or roughly $100B per year that the U.S. troops have been engaged in the Iraq war.
so far there are over 4,200 U.S. dead in the Iraq war and over 30,000 wounded.
