2) Basically Iraq war was waged in order to follow the President Bush's Famous "Doctrine of Premtivenes"(presented in 2002) which has following main points,

(note:: every president of USA Presents his Doctrine)
(css-2006 two questions regarding Doctrine of Bush were asked one question in International Relation Paper and other in Current Affairs Paper)

i) Regime change (8-aug-06 Codelizza Rice vows at redrawing M.East Map, courtesy Dawn)

i.e which means the Bush administration is working for "Greater Israel", or wants a Police man for Middle east(in shape of Israel) in order to control the 80% oil of Middle east by capturing important countries and by establishing its military bases there.

similarly the Bush administration is focusing on "AXIS Powers", i.e Iran, Syria, N.Korea which can be a threat to this "Doctrine" by their Nuclear/Military aims(example:: 19th-april-06,DAWN, Israel P.M Ehud Olmert Said "Axis will lead to 3rd World War")

Why Israel Attacked Lebanon

18-april-06(Dawn) Ahmade Nijad the President of Iran issued a statement that "we will cut the hands of aggressor"

when asked how, he explained that "we will instigate Hizbollah and Hammas to curb Israel", that is why USA gave a green signal to Israel to attack Lebanon (Hizbullah) (afterwards to tackle iran).

[* other points of doctrine would be discussed later]
