Desert Storm I, was about liberating Kuwait after Hussein ordered his troops into a small neighboring country.

Desert Storm II "The Sandbox Revisited", is about Hussein continuing to develop and possess weapons of mass destruction. Which he has used against his own women and children.

Right now Iraq produces 2.5 million barrels of oil per day with antiquated technology. It is projected that with updated technology they can produce more than 10x that and will be able to rival the Saudis in production and give them some competition, thereby dropping oil (and subsequently gas) prices.

The bleeding hearts out there will whine and cry that there has not been enough proof, that they do not understand why people must die. Well, there has been proof. Inspectors found missiles that had been fitted to deliver chemical and/or biological payloads. And people must die now to save more lives in the future.

Leaving Hussein in power will ensure that Iraq will not be a prosperous nation and that it's people will continue to suffer under a dictator who has an unbelievably horrific record of abuse towards his own people.

The US military is highly trained. They have highly evolved weapons systems. Loss of civilian life will be kept as minimal as possible. Hussein's regime will inflate the casualty and fatality numbers to attempt to sway world opinion; we know it'll happen. But I can tell you from my own experiences, the loss of innocent lives will be highly avoided.
