The United States invaded Iraq on March 20th‚ 2003. Before the invasion‚ Iraq was in post-war reconstruction after losing the First Gulf War in 1991. Saddam Hussein’s terrible leadership caused Iraq to be a country in poverty. The United States invaded Iraq in order to assassinate Hussein and to stabilize Iraq. Saddam Hussein and his family moved from city to city to escape the assassination. The United States had bombed many cities and killed many civilians during this search for Hussein. The United

Following the military achievement of the US in Afghanistan‚ the US focused its attention on Iraq in order to topple Saddam Hussein. The Iraq War was a conflict that took place with the invasion of Iraq by the US on 20 March 2003. The American government offered two significant reasons for waging war against Iraq in 2003 (Klare‚ The Coming War with Iraq‚ page 3). First of all‚ the US claimed that Iraq have weapons of mass destruction that could be captured and used by terrorists organizations and

no right to go into Iraq based solely on a theory that Saddam had weapons of mass destruction. According to the Just War Theory‚ war is permissible only to confront “a real and certain danger‚" to protect innocent life‚ to preserve conditions necessary for decent human existence and to secure basic human rights. • Competent authority: Just War Theory states that “War must be declared by those with responsibility for public order‚ not by private groups or individuals.” The War in Iraq was • Comparative

In a similar context‚ the Iraq War was also a direct response to the evidence supporting the fact that Iraq was connected to terrorist activities and the assumption that Iraq was hiding weapons of mass destruction. The US response to Russia in the Cold War is similar to the US response today and set the precedent for the Iraq War. Conclusively‚ both the War of 1812 and the current war in Iraq can be justified considering that the country

Political reasons for Iraq’s war against Kuwait: Saddam Hussein was the 5th president of Iraq. As such‚ his opinions become more than just conjectures but develop into political assertions. Thus‚ it can be said that his many "claims of madness" are Iraq’s political statements. Firstly‚ the Iraq-Kuwait dispute involved Iraqi political claims of Kuwait as Iraqi territory. Kuwait had been a part of the Ottoman Empire’s province of Basra; something that Iraq claimed made it rightful Iraq territory;

1980‚ Iraq invaded Iran‚ starting a war that continues to devastate both countries. Over one million casualties have been reported.

Iran-Iraq War The Iran-Iraq war was a brutal war that eradicated thousands of lives. Some say that “ It was a big mistake” or “wasn’t meant to be.” Both sides argued their own perspective‚ in a matter that they were more accurate than the other‚ or that even it wasn’t their fault. They merely believed that it was each other who were accountable for the war. Iran and Iraq had always been old rivals; some could have even said that they were like “God or satin.” Particularly‚ they would dispute

By looking at the role women played during‚ and after the civil war in the 1860’s‚ one can see how the female figure gained‚ and earned enterprise‚ fortitude‚ and respect for their bravery‚ for leaping at the opportunity of adventure by joining the war‚ and for their service. This was a time that war significantly affected the lives of women striving to improve their educational and social standing in a world where only men could reach positions of power. The American Civil War was an era when women
