The USA went to war with Iraq, because of the Bush Administration's assertion that Iraq had weapon of mass destruction which posed an imminent threat to the USA, and the entire middle east region. This premise to the war was false. Iraq had no weapon of mass destruction. Iraq was not an imminent threat to the USA. In the sense that our solders were given a false objective, (eg to disarm Iraq of WMD), the solders that died, did die in vain. They died thinking they were sacrificing their lives to protect the USA, but the war was unnecessary and should never have been fraught. The entire premise to the war was a mistake based on misleading information. The war's objective was bogus, so those who have died in the conflict, have died in vain. Later the mission was changed to taking out Saddam Hussein as a co-conspirator to the 9/11 attack, but Saddam Hussein had nothing to do with 9/11. Although Saddam Hussein was a curl dictator, it appears to me that he was a necessary part of a very delicate Eco system that help maintain a balance within Iraq and the entire ME. As the leader of Iraq he stood in the way of sectarian violence and civil war. He also helped maintain the balance of power in the region, particularly keeping Iran in check. Later the mission of the war with Iraq chance to making Iraq a democracy that would serve as a shinning example to other countries in the ME region. We will not know for a long time to what extent this succeeded, but the price paid in loss of life, limb, property, and USA prestige was exorbitant.
