Reasons we invaded saddam:
1) Fight terrorism - There wasn't any
2) He's a threat to regional stability - Iran wasnt?
3) He had WMD's - Proven false, and is common knowledge that Iran has atleast some.
4) He was a cruel dictator that killed his own people - So? We've instituted murderous dictators too.
5) He was attempting to get nukes - So were/are Iran, Sudan (I think this is the one, was one of the african islamic countries), and North Korea

Any I left off?

Because he threatened Dubya's daddy ?

The problem always seems to be finding that home you can afford within a reasonable commute of somewhere you can make that $50K.
