History

Historical Context

The Iraq War, initiated on March 20, 2003, by a U.S.-led coalition, aimed to overthrow Saddam Hussein under the pretext of combating terrorism and eliminating weapons of mass destruction. The conflict resulted in over 4,400 U.S. military fatalities and millions displaced, leading to widespread criticism of U.S. foreign policy. This ongoing skepticism reflects a deep wariness among Americans regarding future military interventions.
