Ok, from
dictionary.com (I personally like #5c, #6, and #8):
You're right that Iraq broke the cease fire contract and should have been attacked, in 1995. I wouldn't have a problem with that either but that wasn't the war aim. The war aim was to rid Saddam of weapons of mass destruction. The intelligence leading to the decision was flimsy (some of it fraudulent) and of coarse no weapons were found. So then the war aim changed to regime change. Then the war aim changed again to liberating Iraq. Now I think it has something to do with speading democracy throughout the Middle East.
edit: spelling mistake...
