Iraq is a prize. It is oil rich and centrally located near many centers of terror, including Iran and Pakistan. Deposing Hussein not only removed him from power, but attracted the attention of every terror group in the region. We have made Iraq one of the central fronts in the war on terror, thereby diverting their resources away from western targets.
The reason for invading Iraq was to avoid another 911. So far, so good.
