Because Saddam in control of Kuwait was a threat to us. This is just some third-rate fake holy man calling for the destruction of the pyramids, something that has been done before.

Oil and money.

Darn good question.
We should have let Iraq have Kuwait and we should have let the Soviets fight on Afghanistan.
But hindsight is always 20/20.
