I have expanded on some of the points since...but if you are interested you can do your own search. I am very tired of same questions being asked and answered by me and others...over and over and over again...ad nauseum.
I of course do not expect that you will agree that any of the reasons listed below fall within your definition of a "good" reason.
Bottom line is...the US should have invaded within months of Iraq breaking cease fire agreements...or any year there after. The US was far to patient.

Reasons for war.
#1. Iraq was defeated on the field of battle and signed certain terms. Iraq has been in violation of those terms since they signed the terms in '91. The USA has demanded that those terms be complied with and that Iraq remain a defeated country.
#2. Iraq attempted to assasinate a former American President.
#3. Iraq has fired upon, almost daily, for almost 11 years, USA military forces.
#4. Iraq is believed to have, or are acquiring, or are attempting to acquire WMD's. The USA will not allow that.
#5. Iraq has, on multiple occassions called for Americans, to be killed where ever they are found. Thus they are a sworn enemy of the USA.
#6. Iraq is a strategic piece of real estate for future military operations against our enemies in the region, which number in the 100's of millions.
#7. Iraq is a strategic piece of real estate for its oil fields and for the surrounding oil fields, for as the worlds oil supplies dwindle the USA will be in a position to control the dwindling oil supplies for its use and the use of its European allies.
#8. A take over of Iraq sends a very powerful signal to the other countries in that area of the world that if they don't get their act together they will be next.
Any one of the reasons above is a reason for war.
