There were TWO Iraq wars people. The FIRST Iraq war was the result of Saddam Hussein's invasion of Kuwait in 1990. The US and 29 other nations formed a coalition to drive him out.
Unfortunately Bush senior didn't finish the job because the prime objective of the UN mandate was to drive Iraqi out of Kuwait. They did.
The SECOND Iraq war was executed by the US and FAR LESS willing countries.
After 9-11 the US was understandable paranoid of another attack, this time by chemical, biological or nuclear weapons and our old buddy Saddam Hussein had the biological and chemical weapons available to use along with a "program" to develop nuclear weapons.
After countless demands to come clean were met with flat out NO'S from the Iraq regime, the US launched the SECOND Iraq war.
So, I guess you could say George W Bush "started" the second Iraq war, but a lot of bad circumstances led to it.

Any trace of their nuke activities were long gone when we finally did invade. The absence of WMD gave Bush haters plenty of ammo to support their original reluctance to go into Iraq. Fair enough. People died that didn't need to.....BUT.....how would you react to the 9-11 attacks KNOWING damn well Saddam Hussein had EVERY reason to inflict harm on the United States and your intelligence services tell you hes working on a nuke program? Hindsight is 20/20
