I think the reason is because when we were bombed sept 11th, the president felt an obligation to the american people to secure our country; america's never been attacked before (save pearl harbor) on this level, and so we waged a 'war' on terrorism since terrorists were responsible. Numbers of terrorists are growing all over the world, and it would be simple for like-minded terrorists to cause similar damage in america (blow up a stadium, etc.); so the president stepped up efforts world wide to stop terrorism. Saadam is a guy who should have been dealt with years ago, because he has dirty hands and would glady support terrorists, and probably does. Since he's in support of terrorist actions against the u.s., he gets attacked also. Even before sept 11th (WAY before) he hadn't been complying with the premises in his peace agreement with the u.n., and the consequences of that are that there is no longer peace. We'd been letting him slip for years, but with the american homeland no longer as secure as we imagined, threats like him need to be eliminated to lessen the potential for future problems.

He is a brutal tyrant and needs to be removed so democracy and human rights can be introduced to the Arab world. Hopefully the rest of the region would follow the model of a democratic Iraq.
