Why we went to War with Iraq

• Saddam is an evil man who used poison gas on his own people, has killed political rivals, and violates the human rights of his people, especially the Kurds. The Iraqi people deserve to be liberated from him.

• Saddam has weapons of mass destruction (chemical and biological weapons) in violation of UN demands. These weapons pose a threat to Iraq's neighbors and to U.S. interests in the region. This is not true but we believed it

• One of the biggest reason that no one talks about it they have 20 % of the worlds oil come from Iraq
