    Wasn’t Saddam trying to move to selling his oil in another currency, which is one of the reasons he was invaded?

      Yes.

      Who knows what other reasons various people in and around the government at that time had for invading Iraq, but what does seem to have been established is that it wasn’t WMD’s or anything to do with 9/11, which iirc, is what the Americans and us (well Tony Blair, who was paid handsomely for his service) said it was.
