The Iraq War
The Iraq War began in 2003 when a coalition force led by the USA invaded Iraq, on the grounds that Iraq was developing weapons of mass destruction. As the invasion and then the subsequent occupation progressed, the war became mired in controversy, largely as a result of the dearth of WMDs and rising death counts, both on the civilian Iraqi side and on the military coalition side. Check out the Iraq War Timeline for an in-depth analysis of the major events that led up to and have defined the course of the war.
