Iraq war was fought between Iraq and group of countries led by United States and United Kingdom. It began on March 20, 2003and ended on December 18, 2011 the war resulted in toppling of Iraqi government led by Saddam Hussein. It get started in 1990, in which Iraq invaded the country of Kuwait and started the gulf war. After Iraq lost the gulf war they had agreed to inspections by United Nations. By the early 2005 Iraq was refusing to allow United Nations inspectors into the country then 9/11 happened. The we began to worry about that leader of Iraq, Saddam Hussein was helping terrorists and that he was secretly developing weapons of mass destructions. Weapons of mass destruction or (wmd) are weapons that can cause harm to more number of people, they include nuclear weapon, biological weapon, and chemical weapon like poisonous gas.
The invasion started on march 20,2003 president George bush ordered the invasion of Iraq the us force were led by general Tommy frank and invasion was called "operation Iraqi freedom" some countries allies with us including UK, Australia, Poland agree with it . However many members of UN including France and Germany did not agree with the invasion. After the invasion The US used the precision bombing attack and fast moving troops to quickly evade Iraq. This method of attack is known as "shock and awe "within few weeks they had taken the city of Baghdad. Later that year, Saddam Hussein was captured he was put on a trial by three new Iraqi government and was executed in 2006. After the execution of Saddam Hussein whole country was in chaos because after the demise of the ruler of Iraq question arises now who will rule the country different Islamic factions fought against each other and then the coalition forced continued to occupy Iraq for some time because the country was in disarray without Saddam and his government and the coalition forced for the control of the country (the infra, the roads, telephone lines etc.)Needed to rebuild. And for the next several years different groups within Iraq for power against new Iraqi government. A coalition of forces led by US remained in the country to maintain the order and to help the new government but the insurgency continued. Finally the Iraq war officially ended on December 18, 2011 with the withdrawal of us combat troops and in the next few years an Islamic group called ISIS (Islamic state of Iraq and Syria) gained power in areas of Iraq, In 2014 The US sent troops back to support the Iraqi government. Now after discussing the whole story of Iraq and involvement of US in it. We can deduce the justifiability or violation of any law by US. as we all know everything has its pros and cons , every coin has two faces and so Iraq war have.
cons:- As this war is for the WMD in Iraq and the relation between Saddam Hussein and Al-Queda but later it was found that none of them was true and many innocents were died and more than 1 trilion dollar were expended which can be used for development purpose and main con of the war in Iraq is that it actually strengthen Islam and fueled the growth of terrorism across the globe.
Pros:- after seeing this much of destruction it is difficult to ascertain what is good in it. But perhaps one thing is good is that Iraq is free from his ruthless dictator and now people have freedom expression and now Iraq is connected to the world with internet, cellphone, television etc.
{And yes US involvement in IRAQ war violate international law it is said in the report of Dutch enquiry}
