All you have to do to understnad why we get into any war since WW2 is watch a great documentry (that makes Gores and Moors look like a liberial child did those) called "Why We Fight--by Egene Jarlecki.
The name "why We Fight" was knocked off from a war propaganda film used to get soldiers "in the mood" here.

Ugenes version is quite different here.

Here is a paragraph from the second link explaining the military indsutrial congreesional complex
Lookie whos name is in there that supports it!!! McCain!!!! (yep--he is in the movie--and he looks really nervoius--like you have never seen him before with a camera and mike in his face)
"It was "a huge leap," as former Pentagon analyst and retired Air Force Col. Karen Kwiatkowski says in this film about the administration's post-9/11 focus on Iraq: "A manufactured leap, in order to implement a very calculated and pre-developed foreign policy."
This quantum leap – either backward or forward, according to your ideological predilections – into a new doctrine of preemption, which claims the "right" to attack any nation, anywhere, at any time, and for any reason. It is enthusiastically endorsed by McCain, Kristol, and Perle, and symbolically celebrated – or, rather, dramatized – by a duo of Air Force pilots who personally participated in the first bombing strike of "Operation Iraqi Freedom" and breathlessly relate how great it was and how privileged they felt to be participants in this historic event, "the liberation of a people," as one of them solemnly intones. We are then jerked abruptly back to reality by the sardonic Professor Johnson, who reminds us that the Bush Doctrine is not really new: it is, instead, "an extreme statement of what has been in the works for a long time" – really, he says, since World War II."
This doc is a must see, (I am sure some of you have seen it) and in my opinion, should be played in public high school as part of history---at the beginning of the term--and at the end.
