The US has gone to war twice, in Iraq, and in both cases it did so with the support of other countries. In 1991 there was a broadly based UN coalition. In 2002, the US was supported mainly by Great Britain. So, it was never a unilateral action, although the support in 1991 was much broader.
Becuauuuse either to help the U.S or because one of Iraq's people bombed someonewhere the US was so WE TOOK ACTION! WAR ;)
None. Vietnam was a war against another nation (North Vietnam). Iraq is a police action in which law, order, and stability is trying to be established from withing the country. The US is NOT at war with Iraq.
The US is trying to restore law, order, and stability to the country. It is a "Police Action."

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.
Create a timeline of major events in the war.
Yes, Iraq was at war with Iran from 1980 to 1988. This was called the Iran-Iraq war.
The U.S. decided to go to war in Iraq in 2003 primarily due to concerns over weapons of mass destruction (WMDs) that the Iraqi regime, led by Saddam Hussein, was believed to possess. The U.S. government argued that Iraq's failure to comply with UN resolutions and its perceived threat to regional stability justified military action, despite lacking explicit UN support. Additionally, the Bush administration sought to promote democracy in the Middle East and counter terrorism, framing the invasion as part of a broader strategy in the post-9/11 context. Ultimately, the decision reflected a belief in the necessity of unilateral action when multilateral options were seen as ineffective.
The last US declared war was on December 11, 1941. Congress approved military action against Iraq during Operation Desert Storm (Jan-Feb '91).
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.
