What in your opinion was the real reason Bush went to war in Iraq?

Much of my child was spent watching news coverage of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. It was frightening. As a child, everytime I heard a plan go overhead I was convinced it was going to be a bombing

Except I was in the suburban United States far far far away from any real violence. Still, the Iraq War was the first major event I was old enough to remember. It’s why, I will never ever ever vote republican.

The official reason given for 4,000 dead Americans, and hundreds of thousands if not millions of dead Iraqis was “weapons of mass destruction”. As a kid growing up, a friend’s parent might say “oil”

But really? What was the real reason? Because deep down I really truly think it was nothing more significant then George W Bush wanting to out do his father.

The US went to war in Iraq because of Daddy issues because otherwise he would have told Cheney, Powell, and the others no.

Thoughts?
