The War - a strategic overview
Den Beste did an overview of the war a couple of years back - causes, responses and so on - and it's been shined up and re-chromed by Tigerhawk. Long, comprehensive, and pretty detailed... it's worth a read if you've got an hour or two...
(You might also find the rebuttal to it in comment #8 quite indicative of the scholarship (with annotations and footnotes) of the anti-war crowd. Telling in it's complex nuances, it's not something that should be missed.)
