Bush administration as well as the outcomes of that war on the economy and security in the Middle East. Undoubtedly, the 9/11 attacks marked a historical turning point, with an intense impact on the US Foreign policy and the international order. Responsively, the United States launched a global war on terrorism and the invasion of Iraq in March 2003 was a part from that military campaign. Based on false pretense and without concrete evidence, the United States accused Baghdad of being responsible for the 9/11 atrocities, sponsoring terrorism, and developing Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD).The provided arguments led to a non-dropsically war that costed both nations and the World in general big damages. Overall, the United States' attempt to preserve its hegemony and interests in the Middle- East caused an instability, ethnic fragmentation and deep economic destruction in Iraq.otherIraq WarBush AdministrationUS InvasionOther
