This site looks at the broader view of history and class but it is often on target when it gets to the specifics.

"The US occupation of Iraq is a brutal imperialist enterprise. The soldiers
dying there are being sacrificed not for “democracy” or “liberation,” but
to further the predatory aims and interests of a gangster element within
the American ruling elite. This layer has turned to military aggression as a
means of enriching itself and distracting attention from the deepening
economic and social contradictions within the US itself. It systematically
lied to the American people, fabricating threats from non-existent
“weapons of mass destruction” and phony terrorist links, to justify an
unprovoked and illegal war of aggression."
