If you believe that the USA's goal was to eradicate regimes that support and/or condone terrorism, why did the USA go after Iraq first and not Iran or other countries deemed to be more of a threat?

Iraq violated the armistice and tried to assassinate a US president in 1993. This was reason enough to go to war. As for Iran, my opinion Bush is being remiss by not bombing the hell out of them. I don't favor an occupation of Iran but I do favor attacks on their economy....specifically their oil infrastructure.

It had to do with oil, like almost all of the wars of the past 150 yrs.

Ahhhhhh......Then I suppose the USA will invade Canada, Kuwait, Dubia, Bahrain, and other oil producing nations. I look forward to paying 50 cent per gallon gas should your prediction be true. I've been looking for payback against Canada since their army repulse General Benedict Arnold's invasion of Quebec. Damn Canadiens!

But I think your claims are nonsense so I don't think this will happen.

The US couldn't muster American support for a war against these other countries. You know that. However, they were able to muster support for a war on Iraq under false pretenses.
