The Iraq war of 2003 was an unprovoked attack on a weak and almost defenceless country. It was illegal under international lawThe conquest took just 21 days. The occupation of the country by mainly American forces lasted over seven years - officially until August 2010, although some 50,000 American soldiers and military contractors stayed on after this date. It is commonly understood that the 2003 - 2010 Iraq war started with the bombing of Iraq’s capital city, Baghdad on 20 March 2003. It might be more accurate to say that the war began with the first Gulf War of 1991 when the US bombed and devastated Iraq’s vital facilities. The bombing put out of action, for example, eighteen out of twenty of Iraq’s power generating plants. The war continued through sanctions which attempted to limit the power of Iraq.
