The original issue with Iraq was in 1991 when Iraq invaded Kuwait. Iraq was swifty evicted, but the goal was to evict Iraq and not over throw it's government. The US hardly has time to attemp to run a second government (being as it can't seem to run it's own government properly!). The US did the right thing, sent the Iraqis packing, and set up a ceasefire - with a number of restrictions.
For the next ten years Iraq violated every last condition of the UN imposed ceasefire.
And the UN did nothing.
Perhaps we should have just left him in power and acted like nothing was wrong.
