Some reasons we went into Iraq was 1) we were flying protection missions since the first Gulf War to protect Kurds and Shi'ites. 2) Rice and others felt there was enough opposition to Saddam to warrant us supporting them. 3) Lieberman and McCain passed a bill under the Clinton administration that said if Iraq wasn't cooperating with inspections then we would act. 4) Saddam's sons-in-law reported that Saddam had a nuclear weapons program when they escaped to Jordan. 5) Congress passed a resolution that president Bush could respond if Saddam failed to cooperate with inspections. 6) Powell, at the UN, presented taped conversations of Iraqi soldiers transporting to conceal chemical weapons. 7) Saddam was financing an Al Quieda unit in Northeast Iraq. 8) Saddam paid $34 million to Palestian families of terrorists. 9) Wolfowitz argued that a democratic Iraq would allow for a better chance for peace in Israel. 10) A democratic Iraq might influence other nations in the region.
