For actual reasons here are several old articles of mine on the background of the US invasion of Iraq.
My theory:
The aim like the rest of the so called anti-terror campaign was to raise the US military budget, which sank during the Clinton administration to the lowest levels since the 1930s. The rise in the military budget was to function as a locomotive for the whole US economy.

This worked beautifully after the US invasion of Iraq of 1991, because Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Germany, Japan, etc. paid the bill plus a war dividend. Accordingly, the US received a capital transfer of hundreds of billions of dollars.
But things did not work this way following the "anti-terror campaign" starting 2001. Because of its islamo- and arabophobic character Saudi Arabia withdrew much of its investment in the US and nobody else was ready to pay the enormous costs. An economic crash was inevitable.
