The Iraq War started when the United States invaded Iraq on March 20, 2003.

However, no such weapons were ever discovered.

Answer 4

The war in Iraq was started by both the Americans and the Iranians. Both let the greed for domination and money take over the once fair government. This is seen in many countries and time periods all across the world. This fight has caused a great war in America and Iraq that both land and people have to pay for. If we could come to an agreement on land and oil we may both be able to save each other from one another. If not and they continue to fight and threaten us to nuclear eradication we should take a step toward a great defense. This defense may or will be a nuclear drop of our own. And those who blame it on there religion take a look at the civil war they fought over the religious belief over black slaves.

The war in Iraq started because we were on there land getting oil that wasn't ours to take we new it wasn't and we did any way. We all know that we started the war when the told them it was ours and its not. were in war with Iraq because of oil we couldn't work out with each other cuz the united states are greedy people even know i live here i don't know anyone and don't plan on it were selfish and the war hadn't started if it want for us the bombed us because of the war and the news said it was just a hologram any ways they showed when i disappeared and reappeared what's wrong with us we kiss people every day and don't really care if we stand up for our nation it might help i might be 12 but i got a point don't i?
