Iraq has alot of oil and George W. bush wants to harness the oil to make money. Many Canadians have been sent to Iraq to fight the war on terrorism and many Canadians have died serving for Canada. Eventually the Americans found Saddam Hussein which was supposed to be the reason of the war, but the war in Iraq has not ended yet.
