The war fought to remove Saddam Hussein from Kuwait was the Gulf War, also known as Operation Desert Storm, which took place in 1990-1991. Following Iraq's invasion of Kuwait in August 1990, a coalition of forces led by the United States intervened to expel Iraqi troops from Kuwait. The conflict began with an extensive air campaign in January 1991, followed by a ground offensive that swiftly liberated Kuwait by late February 1991.

American forces bombed Baghdad on March 20, 2003, primarily because the U.S. aimed to remove Saddam Hussein from power. This action was part of the broader invasion of Iraq, which was justified by the U.S. government on the grounds of eliminating alleged weapons of mass destruction and ending Hussein's oppressive regime. The invasion was not directly in response to Iraq invading Kuwait or an attack on the U.S. itself, as those events occurred earlier.

What is the difference between the Iraq war in 1991 and in 2003?

Operation Desert Storm (Jan-Feb 1991) was a military campaign fought against the Nation of Iraq to remove them from the nation of Kuwait. Which was successfully done. Operation Iraqi Freedom commencing in 2003 to present, was originally fought to remove Saddam from power. This was successfully done. Operation Iraqi Freedom currently involves the restoring of LAW & ORDER, & STABILIZATION of the nation of Iraq. Violators, terrorists, insurgents, and other criminal activities, have "WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE" posters out on them. It is the intent of the Coalition Forces & Iraqi Government, to arrest or stop these people, try them in a court of law, and administer justice accordingly. As had happened to Saddam; he was executed.
