The Daddy thing is certainly a factor for Bush Jr. or as Daddy Bush calls him....Mini Me.

But the overwhelming reason is oil. Even if Bush was not president and Gore had gotten in, the powers that be in the military-industrial establishment would still be pushing for an invasion of Iraq. With Mini Me as president those plans may have been accelerated by 2 to 3 years due to family ties and the closer link between the administration and corporate oil.
