• Answer:

  Without doing your paper for you: The War was based on a Policing operation called Desert Shield which later became Desert Storm. Weapons of Mass Destruction and a political and social outcry for the end of the mistreatment and genocide of the non-dominant Muslim classes there we all prime reasons. As with any war, it can also be assumed that natural resources (yes, oil) played a big factor as well but not in the way you might think. Safeguarding a natural resources and, moreover, an economy-driving export from the in-fighting occurring amongst rivaling faction Iraqis prevented a larger degree of civil unrest and disorder that could have spilled into a neighboring friendly nation or at the very least drove up pricing across the world as oil pricing supply-and-demand can be factored on a global scale. As for the Generals: The Honorable Colon Powell (form GEN, USA ret.) Primarily in charge of big-picture ground-force strategy and pre-conflict planning. Dman fine job too considering the brief length and relatively minimal attrition (no offense to our fallen brothers). Norman Schwartzkopf Another big-picture guy with a focus on international troop relations to consolidate contributing nation's forces into a more cohesive unit structure when integrating in joint operations. "Stormin' Normin" did such a good job he was ceremoniously added to the ranks of, and holds the title of "Legionnaire" in the French Foreign Legion which, by his account, included a special card with an international phone number bearing the phrase "Call this number if ever necessary for the Legion to come to your aid". I wonder what that could mean.....
