Iraq was going to get invaded under some pretext by the Anglo-Americans, be it WMD, yellowcake or what ever other "evidence" needed to be manufactured. The English Labourites had tendered a blanket war powers act in 1999 which caused a constitutional crisis in the UK, and the United States neo-conservatives had already promulgated the doctrine for the invasion prior to the Bush election.
The embargo on Iraq had been deliberately sabotaged by various European nations as well as by certain United States corporations, with the intent of "proving" such an embargo was useless.
The intent was to remove one of the Pan-Arab secular states for the favor of the House of Saud and the other Gulf oil puppets, while providing the Anglo-Americans with a platform for further military adventurism in the region, or so the neo-conservatives planned, according to their printed documents and open public statements..
That this whole series of events was known to be orchestrated is demonstrated by such things as the Downing Street Memo.
As for the jihadists you must separate them into their various home authorities, the Salafi and Wahhabi terrorists as quasi-Sunni and nominally under the House of Saud, who sponsor their cult. The Pakistani ones have somewhat differing goals and attack the English and Commonwealth interests more often, the Somalian and East African ones are more anti-colonial, the East Asian ones attack China and other East Asian nations, while the ones based in the Palestinian/Jordanian/Syrian axis are Iran supported and usually direct their energy at the Israelis. There are also groups directing their attentions at the Russians, and the North and West African ones directed at their regions.
Though they often interact and share ideologies, they appear to have specific individual goals. And you will not see the Salafi jihadists acting conray to the Gulf Protectorate's interests, the Shia jihadi attacking Iran, etc.
