Iraq

One of the most important cities of the mesopotamian civilizations was Ur which was present in the area since the Sumer empire.

The Americans won and the Iraqis retreated back to their homeland to plot a different way to destroy the Americans. After the war the Americans shot missiles at the base of the Iraqis to show they wouldn't want to mess with them.

Unfortunately, the above answer is a misconception as the Iraqis were unconnected to any attempts to destroy America (9/11 has no connection to Iraq). The Iraq War was an American Invasion of the Iraqi Regime that was believed to have had weapons of mass destruction. Toppling the government occurred early in the War and the majority of the fighting was between guerrillas and the United States Army during the Occupation and Nation-Building Phases. Finally, in 2011 the United States affirmed that Iraq is ready to maintain its own defense and left the country.

Barack Obama was not a member of the US Senate at the time. Thus he did not vote on the invasion. But as a member of the state senate in Illinois, he expressed his vocal opposition, calling it a foolish decision by President Bush; and when he joined the U.S. senate in 2004, he voted against the surge and against additional funding for expanding the war. In 2008, as a candidate, he promised he would end our involvement in Iraq if he were elected, and that is what he did.

There is no event in recent Iraqi history which has been specifically labeled as the Iraqi Genocide. There have certainly been attacks on ethnic groups in Iraq within the last 70 years with the intent of severely crippling or eliminating these groups, but unless a particular group is specified (Kurds, Marsh Arabs, Jews, Shiites, etc.) dates are impossible to give.

As of 2011 with both wars combined it is estimated that 945,000 people have been killed and 1,750,000 people have been injured.

the worst is world war 2. over 60 million were killed and more civilians died than soldiers. Also 405,399 American soldiers died in action and 30 million of the people were Russians.

There areweapons in Iraq, but that doesn't technically mean they're there for the same reason. Their are many reasons why weapons are kept and owned by many people; including normal residents and those who come to visit the country and leave eventually. Some reasons why most people in Iraq have at least has one weapon:

1.To protect their families in case a stranger tries to attack or steal.

2.Reach out a helping hand if a dangerous crime occurs thought the neighborhood/community.

3.For a protector of the country's protection for himself as well for others.

4.A race/religious comparison in the country [including the government sometimes].

5.Murder of people.

The Iraq-Kuwait war took place from 1990 until 1998. However, if the question is referring to the initial Iraqi offensive when 100,000 Iraqi troops, backed by 300 tanks, invaded Kuwait in the Persian Gulf, this took place on 2 August 1990, and lasted for six weeks.

Hussein, who was Sunni, wanted to murder Shiite Muslims because he feared their growing power in the south, and that they would revolt against him.

The Rulers hardly have any religion or Faith. Their Faith is Power. No Muslim (Sunni or Shia etc) is permitted by Allah Almighty to kill any Human being without a just cause. Killing an innocent human being (irrespective of his caste, creed, color, religion) is like killing the whole humanity. This is what Allah Almighty says in the Qur'an. Thus the Rulers kill for their Power, not religion.

the USA sent troops to kuwait for more watch a vidio on the greatest tank battles.

The Iraq War was not a winnable war for any party because there were no "objectives" that either side was trying to meet. Saddam Hussein was trying to stay in power and failed. The United States tried to build a nation with moderate success, but eventually left the Iraqis to finish the project. The Iraqi Militias were trying to forge a new place in the government by military means and failed in that regard (although many now wield political power on account of Iraqi voting styles).

Therefore, it cannot be said that there is a finite day when the Iraq War was won.

Research World-Bank and the IMF. Debt controls countries far more than any amount of money. The previously mentioned organizations pay for the reconstruction projects in full, always contracted to those individuals' businesses. Then the third world country owes the IMF the money, and is therefore in NATO's pocket. All the while the said individuals walk away with cash in hand, leaving the citizens of that country holding the bill.

George H. W. Bush was the President and so commander-in-chief over the military operation known as Desert Storm. This operation was the US response to Iraq's invasion of Kuwait. Bush did not personally lead the operation.

Following uprisings in the north and south, Iraqi no-fly zones were established to help protect the Shi'ite and Kurdish groups in South and North Iraq, respectively. These no-fly zones (originally north of the 36th parallel and south of the 32nd parallel) were monitored mainly by the United States and the United Kingdom, though France also participated. Combined, they flew more sorties over Iraq in the eleven years following the war than were flown during the war. These sorties dropped bombs nearly every other day against surface-to-air missiles and anti-aircraft guns which engaged the patrolling aircraft. However, the greatest amount of bombs was dropped during two sustained bombing campaigns: Operation Desert Strike, which lasted a few weeks in September 1996, and Operation Desert Fox, in December 1998. Operation Northern Watch, the no-fly zone covering the Kurds, allowed the population to focus on developing security and infrastructure, which was reflected after Saddam's fall in 2003 by a much more progressive and sustainable region (when compared to the rest of the country following Operation Iraqi Freedom). Operation Southern Watch, on the other hand, was not successful in providing the Shi'ite population the same opportunity. Widespread infrastructure destruction during the ground war hurt the Iraqi population. Years after the war, electricity production was less than a quarter of its pre-war level. The destruction of water treatment facilities caused sewage to flow directly into the Tigris River, from which civilians drew drinking water, resulting in widespread disease. Funds provided by Western nations to help combat the problem were diverted instead to maintaining Saddam's military control over the country. Economic sanctions were kept in place following the war, pending a weapons inspection with which Iraq never fully cooperated as it accused the UN inspectors of spying (something which was later proven to be at least partially true). Iraq was later allowed to import certain products under the UN's Oil for Food program. A 1998 UNICEF report found that the sanctions resulted in an increase to 90,000 deaths per year. Many argue that the sanctions on Iraq and the American military presence in Saudi Arabia contributed to an increasingly negative image of the United States in the Arab world. A United Nations Special Commission (UNSCOM) on weapons was established, to monitor Iraq's compliance with restrictions on weapons of mass destruction and ballistic missiles. Iraq accepted some and refused other weapons inspections. The team found some evidence of biological weapons programs at one site and non-compliance at many other sites. In 1997, Iraq expelled all U.S. members of the inspection team, alleging that the United States was using the inspections as a front for espionage; members of UNSCOM were in regular contact with various intelligence agencies to provide information on weapons sites back and forth. The team returned for an even more turbulent time period between 1997 and 1999; one member of the weapons inspection team, U.S. Marine Scott Ritter, resigned in 1998, alleging that the Clinton administration was blocking investigations because they did not want a full-scale confrontation with Iraq. In 1999, the team was replaced by UNMOVIC, which began inspections in 2002. In 2002, Iraq � and especially Saddam Hussein � became targets in the United States' War on Terrorism, leading to the 2003 invasion of Iraq, led by the United States and, to a lesser extent, the United Kingdom. The People's Republic of China (whose army in many ways resembled the Iraqi army) was surprised at the performance of American technology on the battlefield. The swiftness of the coalition victory resulted in an overall change in Chinese military thinking and began a movement to technologically modernize the People's Liberation Army. These things irritated Islamic Extremism, although it had already been there to start with, strong as ever. The change of face by Saddam's secular regime did little to draw support from Islamics groups. However, it, combined with the Saudi Arabian alliance with the United States and Saudi Arabia being seen as being on the same side of Israel dramatically eroded that regime's legitimacy. Activity of Islamics groups against the Saudi regime increased dramatically. The presence of American troops in Saudi Arabia, the invasion of Iraq, and the subsequent blockade were some of the grievances listed by Osama bin Laden in his 1998 Fatwa. In part to win back favor with Islamics groups Saudi Arabia greatly increased funding to those that would support the regime. Throughout the newly independent states of Central Asia the Saudis paid for the distribution of millions of Qur'ans and the building of hundreds of mosques for extremist groups. In Afghanistan the Saudi regime became a leading patron of the Taliban in that nation's civil war, and one of the few foreign countries to officially recognize the government.

Operation Iraqi Freedom was the codename for the American Invasion of Iraq. The causes of that invasion are, as of yet, not clear. The government of the United States has posited that it was to find Weapons of Mass Destruction and remove Saddam Hussein from power. Others have stipulated that it was on account of American desires for Iraqi Oil.

The children in the Iraq war are being used to become young solders. The adult solders are kidnaping them from their famlies and taking them to their hideout and then brainwash them and train them to become solders.

Mesopotamia is where the first complex societies emerged, more specifically it was in the hills around mesopotamia, the fertile crescent, where the first farmers lived. before that happend, around 12,000 years ago, humans were all living in small hunter/gatherer societies.

some people belive America had no right to put its head in where it wasnt needed, meaning, its vietman, let them look after them selves, but we are all humans aswell, so why not protect the innocent

USA TODAY confirms that the US military has been lying about the true number of American casualties in the Iraq war. As was reported in 2006, it is estimated that American deaths are well over 10,000 to 15,000 (Also see Pentagon Cover Up: 15,000 or more US casualties in Iraq War). This also means that all casualty figures reported by the US administration are grossly underestimated, giving additional credibility to the Just Foreign Policy report that well over 1.1 million Iraqi's have been killed as a direct result of the US invasion.

Saddam's failed all of his major plans, and this in itself is an Iranian victory. However, due to the fact that Iran failed its objective of overthrowing Saddam's regime, the war ended in a stalemate.

When looking at the severe military advantage of Iraq, backed by every superpower in the world including the US and the USSR, and Iran's (who had just experienced a harsh revolution that resulted in the almost complete destruction of Iranian military leadership due to internal purges by the Ayatollah) severe disadvantage, it's a miracle that Iran not only managed to push out the Iraqis in a matter of two years, but also push into Iraqi territory. Iran's use of its superior quality American weaponry combined with its highly mobile battle tactics surprised Iraq's forces. Near the end of the war both countries were resorting more and more to long range ballistic missiles, a time known as the "war of the cities" which resulted in many civilian casualties. Iran's use of child soldiers was common due to the regime earlier unwisely dismantling most of its military out of fear of a coup.

Officially there "nobody winner" since Iran asked Iraq for a cease fire. In body count Iraq would be the winner since Saddam was a unstoppable force in the Iraq-Iran war and gassed and killed many thousands of Iranians. While at the same time gassing and killing people he deemed enemies of the state. When he succeeded in killing hundreds of thousands of enemies of the state he turned his entire military force towards Iran and shortly after they asked Saddam for a cease fire. Saddam declared the war a victory at home and created a large war memorial, complete with a very large pile of Iranian helmets.

Originally the idea was to get rid of Saddam Hussein. Unfotunately, a whole lot different factions, mainly different versions of Muslims, tried to fill the space when he was gone and there's been a war ever since. The war is the battle for trying to stabilise the country and stop the continual insurgency and bombings.
