There has to be a reason, or we wouldn't be doing it, right? Someone will surely be able to explain this to me.

The official reason was that Saddam Hussein wasn't complying fully with the weapons inspections, and we thought he still had the weapons of mass destruction he had years before.

I have no idea if that's the real reason.

If your question is "why are we still there?" I think the answer has more to do with Bush's psychology.

Did we think he had an inter-continental delivery system? Does the current objective consist of staying there until we find these weapons?

Yep, he's a megalomaniac who can't admit when he's wrong (see: new-cue-lar)
