Maybe, did you read the link.. It offers a far more likely explanation than I've ever seen before.

Can you explain why the US went into iraq while they knew there were no WDM, while it was known that other states like Iran, North korea, India and Pakistan do have developped those?? Sadam really was harmless in many respects, except in one. Undermining the financial trade system in oil. But of course this motive would be much harder to sell.

read the link. Every country that wants to exchange the dollar for the euro in oil trade is threatened. Iraq did implement that and has been reverted after the US invaded Iraq. Iran is beeing demonised the same way because it expressed the same interest. How about venezuela ?? Same story.
