Why did US president George Herbert Walker Bush started the second Iraq war?

Answer 1

Well, the alleged reason for for the invasion of Iraq was to remove WMD's and prevent Iraq from being a "safe haven" for terrorists. Bush & Blair also cited humanitarian reasons, arguing that removing Sadam Hussein from power would help the Iraqi people. However, it is widely disputed as to Bush's true motivations for invading Iraq since no WMD's were ever discovered, links between Al Queida and Sadam Hussein were later shown to be false, and by all accounts the Iraq War has been a humanitarian disaster with approximately 1,000,000 deaths, dwarfing the 20,000+ of his own people that Sadam Hussein murdered.

Some argue that Iraq was invaded for the oil, however to many economists this claim seems dubious since the Iraq War actually caused the price of oil to increase. So perhaps there was no good reason for the Iraq War and Bush & Blair are just another testament to Western arrogance and stupidity.
