It would have been a better argument for the United States to state that we are attacking Iraq for our national interests alone. The UN be damned.

Funny how we side with the UN on rulings we approve of and condemn them when it's against our interests.

You really want to know why we invaaded? IMHO Daddy's unfinished business and the later failed assination attempt. Period. Nothing else adds up, WMD's, UN resolutions, or a democratic Iraq.

Saddam wanted to get the sanctions lifted and resume selling his oil.

What you aren't supposed to find out is that he was going to sell it in Euros, not dollars. That would have meant a serious plummet in the dollar.

Iran is planning the same thing.

It might help if you gave a specific example.
