SOMEONE HELP ME!! Why did the United States go to war with Iraq? It was established that Saddam Hussein had provided aid and information to the Soviet Union during the Cold War.

It was proven that Iraq had trained and funded the terrorists who carried out the attacks of September 11, 2001.

It was believed that Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction and was a threat to the global community.

It was hoped that defeating Iraq would prevent the United States from having to go to war with Afghanistan.
