Iraq, known as the cradle of civilization, was where they developed several empires of antiquity, which made it a culturally rich area. is where writing comes. In 1980, the Iraqi economy was prosperous, depended on the production of oil . But beginning in September of that year war against neighboring Iran to curb the spread of radical Islamic regime Khomeini and the interests of multinational oil from the wells of black gold at the border. In this adventure Hussein was supported by the United States, France and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics . This time the Iraqi government of Saddam Hussein was questioned internationally for the use of chemical weapons against Iranians and his own Kurdish population. Later, in 1990, Hussein invaded and annexed the territory of Kuwait. This led to an international coalition to defeat Iraq in the First Gulf War.
In 2002, the U.S. government accuses the regime of Saddam Hussein of having links with the Al Qadea and possess weapons of mass destruction. On February 5, 2003, Colin Powell, Secretary of State for the U.S.. UU. submitting the complaint to the United Nations to justify the war in Iraq , based on the statements of Rafid Ahmed Alwan al-Janabi to German and U.S. intelligence.
The invasion of Iraq began on March 20, 2003 by a multinational coalition composed mostly by U.S. troops and English. is estimated that more than one million people died. The Pentagon reported that 4,247 U.S. soldiers lost their lives and 34,268 were injured. the U.S. government for the war had cost a billion dollars and nine billion dollars to the United Kingdom. invasion quickly defeated the Iraqi government. But it began a strong resistance against the multinational coalition. was generated strong violence by Iraqi insurgents. Began a civil war between Sunnis and Shiites who was the cause of most of the deaths of civilians. After the capture and execution of Saddam Hussein, the problems and economic policy are not stabilized. Iraq becomes the second most unstable country in the world. Its infrastructure was destroyed. After an eight-year war, the government has not been able today to provide electricity to its citizens. The economic consequences of the war in Iraq to the United States were terrible too. The Bush administration has financed the war without including the expenses as part of the budget deficit and thus were not sent to Congress the budget, but these had to be paid sooner or later. This was a fiscal irresponsibility government had to face Obama. The war ended on 19 August 2010.
remember that the weapons inspectors of the United Nations has never found evidence of weapons of mass destruction, or failed to demonstrate the relationship between Hussein and Al Qaeda .
On 15 February 2011, Rafid Ahmed Alwan al-Janabi admitted that he lied. His story was a fabrication. In his remarks to The Guardian (English) said. "They gave me this opportunity. I had the opportunity to invent something to overthrow the regime." Add to this the revelations Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld in his memoirs in which supports the program of weapons of mass destruction did not exist in Iraq.
Colin Powell claimed that the CIA has given clear explanations.
Unfortunately, world opinion seems to have interested these statements that invalidate the justification for a war that destroyed a nation.
