I think there were a number of reasons. In 2000 Sadam expressed his desire to sell his oil for Euros as a reaction the sanctions we had imposed on his country which resulted in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of children, which would have perhaps begun a chain of breaking away from the Petro Dollar Recycling programme we have had since the 70's, the desire to control oil resources and the powerful influence of neo-con think-tanks like the Project for a New America. None of this worked out as planned and it should have been known, Cheney knew it and said it in 1994:

Nothing changed in the nigh 10 years that served as an interlude between declaring 'mission accomplished' and this interview. All in all I think the Iraq war is the product of poorly executed ambitions, though no doubt many special interests, particularly those in the Military Industrial Complex have profited greatly.

what you believe makes sense to a biased mind who wants america to be the bad guy.  read this.  its a great summary of what congress and the UN had to go through with regards to the sanctions imposed on Sadaam following the first Gulf War.
