The Iraq War is the Third Gulf War that was initiated by the

military invasion of Iraq by the US Troops in March 2003.

The invasion was also the result of the seizure of Iraq and its

major cities by the allies of the United States to bring an

conclusion to the Baath Party of Saddam Hussein who was a

well-known leader of the Baath party and the 5

th President of

Iraq. The chief cause of the Iraq War could be related to the

GWOT (Global War on Terrorism) which was declared by the

United States President George W. Bush in response to the

terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center on 11

th September

2001.

The events of the Iraq War were both brutal and severe on

both the sides including the Iraqi army and the common man

as well as on the US Army and its allies. It resulted in the

defeat of the Iraqi Army and the exposure and the execution

of the Baath party leader Saddam Hussein. The war also

resulted in the mass casualty of thousands of army men along

with the common men, especially children among the dead and

the severely wounded. In addition to the loss of life, the war

also resulted in heavy economic losses in terms of several US

Million dollars at the cost of heavy armaments and missiles.

The paper discusses the covert as well as the overt reasons

and causes of the Iraq War or the Third Gulf War in addition

to the different aims and objectives of the United States and its

allies. The paper also discusses the course of the Iraq War and

the consequences which had to be faced both on the face of

Iraq and the United States as well. This paper would also shed

light on the dire consequences of the aftermath of the Iraq

War on all the aspects of the Iraq Government and also on

the United States government including the economic, political,

military, social and on humanitarian levels. At last, the true

intentions of the main reasons of the Iraq War have been

speculated and interpreted in a broader sense.
