It always irked me when people called it the Second Iraq War. From my recollections, people always referred to the war in the 90's as the Persian Gulf War and it was instigated by Iraq's invasion of Kuwait. The war in the 2000's struck me as the poorly justified invasion of another nation. While there were legitimate grievances against Iraq, they were not the types of grievances that should escalate into war.

I think it is just a colloquial numbering for clarity. That is why I do it.

The 90's war was with Iraq, that is who we were fighting against, and sometimes it is just easier to number them to differentiate from the one in the 2000's.
