The Best answer is to finish unfinished business with Sadam from Gulf War 1. To get rid of a thorn in the side of the USA. All the rhetoric about WMDs, and being a Terrorist sponsor was all hyperbole to arouse the public ire. A sales pitch straight from Madison Avenue. The planning for the end result was misguided, shortsighted and irrational given the knowable reality on the ground in Iraq. In other words the Bush Administration had an idea in their heads that nobody could disuade them from and they ignored reality.
Bush and Cheney don't need to make the US Corps richer, they are all doing fine all by themselves. A better way to look through the prisim is to see that they are trying to preserve the staus quo so that those interest can continue doing business as usual. That in a sense is what Muslim Fundlementalism is oposed to the supposed corruption of their beliefs by Western Business practices and culture.
