What is US doing in Iraq?
As far as I remember,US wanted to invented Iraq under any circumstances.At beginning US said that Iraq has a weapons of mass distraction and we should invent Iraq for that.Well,rest of the World and UN told to US,that is no such weapons over there,but any way US attacked Iraq.Shortly after that of course US never found those weapons,so they have to became with some thing.Of course "good old-bring freedom and democracy".But if US want to bring "Freedom and Democracy" why they didn't"t do this in N.Korea,Cuba,Somalia and other places all over the World?Another one is"fighting terrorism".What kind of terrorism -Ben Laden has nothing to do with Iraq....Lately I hear US wants their oil.I hope it is not true,because if it is,how can country,which choose own self to be world policeman be so unfair full to do so?If it is true,who is next S.Africa because they have diamonds,India because they have bengal tigers(joke)?Of course they not going to attack Russia or China,because Russia and China has pretty strong armies and it will be very questionable after all if US made a wright decision to attack them.Any way,what is US doing in Iraq in a first place?

This is but one in a long list of senseless slaughter. Politicians always have their own reasons. Those who start wars rarely do so for self defense.

Wolfowitz Doctrine aka Defense Planning Guidance for the 1994–99 fiscal years:
1) the US must become the world’s single superpower and must take aggressive action to prevent competing nations—even allies such as Germany and Japan—from challenging US economic and military supremacy.
2) Interests to be defended preemptively include “access to vital raw materials, primarily Persian Gulf oil, proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and ballistic missiles, [and] threats to US citizens from terrorism.”

The US went to Iraq because Bush is an idiot. We are now leaving, thanks to Obama.
As little as I think of Bush, it wasn't for oil. Saddam himself told his generals he still had WMD's, because he wanted other countries to hear about it so they'd be afraid to invade. Bush was stupid for jumping in with inadequate evidence, but Saddam was stupid for giving that impression and failing to obey the agreement he'd made with the UN.
