No, the war in Iraq was started when the US President and his advisers determined, against all evidence, that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction that were a danger to the US.

This was afterwards found to be incorrect.

Furthermore, as gays were explicitly banned from the United States Military in 2003, they could not have participated in the Iraq War unless they were closeted.

I looked all over, and everyone says Afghanistan

Yes?

They killed Osama.

The region is the Middle East.

• No, you should not wait, but hope he comes home safe and sound from Iraq in November. He has been your ex fiance for two years and being at war and lonely and longing to come home people can often make promises rashly and promises they cannot keep. It is possible he may feel like he wants to get back with you, but you should date other young men because your ex fiance has not given you any definite answers as to how things really will work out when he gets back. Continue to talk to him on Skype and do not say anything about you dating other men. If you are meant to be together then it will happen.

I am not sure that "yellow journalism" (scary headlines, totally un-researched reporting intended to terrify the public in support of a political agenda) describes all that went wrong with the war coverage, but many critics believe it did play a part. Of course, it depends on which side you ask, but these days, even some Republicans (Colin Powell, for example) acknowledge that the Bush administration gave erroneous information to the American public. However, harsher critics believe the information was more than erroneous-- many Democrats and some libertarian Republicans, believe the Bush administration intentionally misled and manipulated the public, using friendly media sources (Fox News, conservative talk shows) to do so.

A number of liberal and moderate journalists also felt the majority of the media was too lacking in healthy skepticism and too deferential to President Bush and Vice President Cheney: one such critic, Eric Boehlert, wrote a book called "Lapdogs: How the Press Rolled Over for Bush." But it should also be noted that even some generally reliable media outlets that were not known as conservative (the New York Times, for one), bought into the Bush administration's desire to go to war in Iraq, publishing articles that accepted the president and vice president's assertions that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction. At that time, there was not yet a blogosphere (Twitter, Facebook), nor were there many vocal critics of the war who were able to get on TV or radio to challenge President Bush's point of view.

Critics would later accuse the president of intentionally exaggerating the threat Saddam posed; there were definitely some friendly (pro-Bush) media that used the scare headlines and exaggerated claims associated with yellow journalism, but as mentioned already, not all of the reporting was intended to scare. In some cases, it was simply what reporters were told and that is what they related to their viewers, listeners, and readers. At that time, critics say, too many in the press did not ask the hard questions, and generally reported the exaggerations and erroneous assertions as if they had a basis in fact. Thus, a case could indeed be made that yellow journalism was one factor in why Americans came to believe false stories, but it was not the entire reason.

Iraq invaded Kuwait in August 1990 primarily due to economic grievances and territorial ambitions. The Iraqi government, led by Saddam Hussein, sought to gain control over Kuwait's oil reserves and eliminate its debt from the Iran-Iraq War. Additionally, Iraq accused Kuwait of overproducing oil, which lowered prices and harmed its economy. These factors combined led to the invasion, marking a significant escalation in regional tensions.

Well, first, Egypt and Morocco are in Africa and the rest are in Asia. Also, Israel is a Jewish country whilst the others are all Muslim. Iran is a Shia Muslim country and all the others (except Israel) are Sunni Muslim. Turkey alone is in NATO and Turkey alone has a land border with the EU and part of Turkey is on the European continent. Jordan and Morocco are the only monarchies and Turkey and Israel are the only democracies.

The estimated population in 2011 was 30,400,000.

no. not really.

At least 600,000 people lost their lives (300,000 Iranian soldiers, 150,000 Iraqi soldiers, and 150,000 civilians). The real death toll is probably closer to 2,000,0000 dead (800,000 Iranian soldiers, 350,000 Iraqi soldiers, 200,000 civilians, 200,000 genocide victims, and other miscellaneous deaths).

There have been numerous enemies faced by the US coalition and their allies in Iraq. They have generally been called "the Insurgency", but are composed of separate militias and paramilitaries.

Yes, crocodiles can be found in Iraq, specifically the Nile crocodile species. They inhabit the marshlands and river systems, particularly in the southern regions of the country. However, their population is limited and threatened due to habitat loss and other environmental factors. Conservation efforts are necessary to protect their remaining habitats in Iraq.
