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.

The premise for the war in Iraq was not one of humanitarianism.

Iraq didn't exist in this time. The state of Iraq is a modern state.
