So, it is not a really good reason for the United States to declare war on a country that declared war on us first (Germany), yet it is a really good reason to go into Iraq with no provocation or evidence that military action is warranted?

Ummm, I hate to point this out to you, but the US declared war on Germany and Japan on December 8, 1941, the day after Pearl Harbor. Remember FDR's "day that will live in infamy" speech? He asked for a declaration of war in that speech and got it right then and there. Germany and Italy declared war on the US three days later on December 11, 1941.
