Actually, I've done quite a bit of research on this.
It has been harmful more than helpful for the most part. And today by far most of Iraqi's are opposed to the war.
They produce less oil, less people in Iraq have running water, less people have jobs, and people in the capital got 16-24 hours of electricity before the war now get 1-2 on average. Millions of Iraqi's have fled (including 40% of Iraq's professionals such as doctors).
The only signifcant improvement was the amount of Iraqi's that are getting post-secondary education.
Iraqi's even voted in favor that security had deteriorated.
Two countries, Iran and Iraq, fought the Iran-Iraq war during those years.
37 Jewish American soldiers have died in Iraq War. Profiles of those who gave their lives are at the Related Link below.
Those who protest the war in Iraq feel that we should not be at war. They may feel that there is a need to bring our soldiers home. Whatever their reasoning may be, hopefully they are respectful in voicing their opinion.

I think you must be referring to the war between Iran and Iraq, which was between 1980-88. However, while Iraq is an Arab country, Iran is a Persian country. They are both Islamic nations though. Both are majority Shi'ite Muslim.
The people involved in the war in Iraq are the US, Iraq and the UK.
There was a war that began in Iraq in 1980, but the war began with an invasion of Iran, not Iraq. That war is the Iran-Iraq War and lasted from 1980-1988.
No. 'Domino theory' was the worry that if a country became communist, those surrounding would also become so; then those surrounding them, and so on. The Iraq war was a combination of bad politics and warmongering, inspired by the greed for oil.
Yes, Iraq was at war with Iran from 1980 to 1988. This was called the Iran-Iraq war.
Yes, Operations should continue in Iraq and Afghanistan until the governments of those nation are able to carry out the will of their people.
The war in Iraq is called this because the war is within Iraq, its not with any other country. Iraq is having civil wars. Iraq can not stabilize their government or economy.
