From what i know, they went to find weapons and bombs of mass destruction. I've heard rumors that they went revenge for 9/11 as well. I don't know exactly and I don't think that the US government will be telling us anytime soon.

Was the US Army first to inter Iraq or was the US Marines first to inter Iraq?

The Army had units in Iraq first. US Army Special Forces were in Iraq before the war even began. As for the ground offensive, it was a simultaneous push - the border was crossed at several points simultaneously by both Army and Marine personnel, although I believe the first line unit fully across the border into Iraq was an Army unit. The first actual strike of the war, however, was dealt by the Air Force.

What was the role of US in restoring democracy in Iraq?

First, we should note the wording of the question. The US did not "restore" democracy in Iraq, since "restoration" requires that there was a previous state of democracy in Iraq. This is incorrect. There has never been democracy in Iraq at any point in history since Iraq was first settled over 5000 years ago. Iraq has consistently been ruled by absolute monarchies or in Caudillo-States or in one-party "republics" like Saddam's. The US created a new democracy in Iraq, changing the history of the country radically.The US role in creating democracy in Iraq was primarily the Iraq War, which was the invasion and overthrow of Saddam's Republic or Iraq. Afterwards, the US brought together leaders from different regions and clans of Iraqi society to write a Constitution that they could all finally agree on as well as facilitating the negotiations. The US also assisted monetarily, by financing the new government, and militarily, by training the nascent Iraqi Army. (Saddam's army had been disbanded and its members forbidden from re-enlisting.)
