25 year rule brah. inb4
>I totally meant the 1st gulf war

Might have had something to do with Saddam telling the UN weapons inspectors to go fuck themselves. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. That being said, we probably would have found another reason but he literally handed us one on a silver platter

because historically ggreat powers always invaded it

That's not what happened you idiot, he let the inspectors in time and time again. They found nothing so Americans went ballistic.

Why not?

Because the government of Hussein was considered a threat to regional stability in an important (read: oil rich) region.

In the eyes of Bush administration foreign policy experts, containment was failing, and the failure of containment would mean an unacceptably powerful Iraq.

Note that the people creating and executing this foreign policy were windowlicking retards and should be executed by scaphism.

he started raping children, leaving lakes of blood everywhere filled with the corpses of sunnis, invaded kuwait and iran, stole other countrie's oil, and used children as suicide soldiers. Also
>greatest ally

sadam had drones and he was gonna arm these drones with nukes and fly these drones to the united states and kill us he had to be stopped god bless america

Petrodollar

>No post on Veeky Forums even got it right

>muh WMDs

meant to OP

Saddam was a liability. He wasn't content being dictator over his little patch of sand. He insisted on meddling in the region, and as such became too much of a threat to stability (which mostly means reliable access to oil).

Israel. Saddam was writing ten thousand dollar checks to the families of suicide bombers in Gaza.

It's pretty much always the jews.

Bitch you better be, and that's not even the real reason. It's the pretext for doing it to the dumb american people, not the actual reason.

Jews pushed for the war against a country which didn't pose much of a threat to the US but posed a big threat to our "greatest ally". They are now pushing for wars against Syria and Iran for the same reason.

>They are now pushing for wars against Syria and Iran for the same reason.

In case you missed it, there already is a war in Syria. Nobody is pushing for war with Iran.

Petrodollar OP. Saddam decided to trade oil in euros and that was just a big no no.

Have this article from november 2000 rferl.org/a/1095057.html

>Nobody is pushing for war with Iran
What the fuck?

Sanctions and shittalking =/= pushing for war

>Iran hawks are just shittalking!
How can you tell?

Like the civil war it was about the meme reason, just indirectly.

It was considered a source of instability in the region. A region with a lot of oil.

Iraq's oil in particular wouldn't even begin to reimburse the expense of the war due to various expenses and competion.

If you use the threat of war as a bargaining chip long enough eventually someone will call your bluff. That is about how WW1 happened.

It's even more direct, constantly putting pressure through sanctions and "containment" measures inevitably leads to a breakdown of negotations and war unless the injured actually collapses. The reason hawks keep pushing for unreasonable demands is simply to justify or provoke aggression, it's a very old tactic.

Why does Saddam have to obey UN weapon inspectors (if what you say is true)? The US literally passed a law in 2002 that allows the President to invade Netherlands if any American or allied personnel gets taken by the Hague International Court.

Because the rest of the world told him so (because they dont want dictators wielding very dangerous weapons). Global politics isn't "fair" where everybody gets to design their own rules.

Iran wont declare war on the US, the US wont declare war on Iran. Neither side wants this.

>implying
(((Somepeople))) and our president would love to start shit with Iran, because our president is incompetent and the other people wants what's best for the state of israel. Remember WW1 was supposed to be impossible too

Pure Ideology.

Read Neocon literature. Or just listen to them speak about it. It's not like they hide it. They believed 9/11 gave them an opportunity to overthrow hostile regimes, replace them with democracies, and tie their markets in with Americas. In doing so, hostile powers would be turned into allies (like Japan and Germany would after WW2), and you'd have a snowball effect of isolating the remaining anti-American regimes further, and build a growing, coalition of democracies to support further U.S. military endeavors.

To genocide natives for greater Israel.

>le opposition is absolutely Hitler/Monster
Fuck off jew.

>The Nayirah testimony was a false testimony given before the Congressional Human Rights Caucus on October 10, 1990 by a 15-year-old girl who provided only her first name, Nayirah. The testimony was widely publicized, and was cited numerous times by United States senators and President George H. W. Bush in their rationale to back Kuwait in the Gulf War. In 1992, it was revealed that Nayirah's last name was al-Ṣabaḥ (Arabic: نيره الصباح) and that she was the daughter of Saud Al-Sabah, the Kuwaiti ambassador to the United States. Furthermore, it was revealed that her testimony was organized as part of the Citizens for a Free Kuwait public relations campaign which was run by American Hill & Knowlton for the Kuwaiti government. Following this, al-Sabah's testimony has come to be regarded as a classic example of modern atrocity propaganda.[1][2]

Chemical weapons and evidence of their use and creation were found, other WMDs were not.

This makes no sense. this is a non answer.

cause global capitalism can do no wrong, everyone must be on the same side.
