There are definitely reasons for America in Iraq...

There are several reasons why the US was in Iraq

1. The CIA said that there were WMD's

2. The oil in the middle-east is very important

3. We had to fight Al-Queda and other groups who threaten our country

Believe me, I hate spending 800 billion dollars and the lives of many of our troops in Iraq, but some things had to be done
