Iraq Invasion

The Iraq Invasion has become known as the Second Gulf War or Operation Iraqi Freedom. It's official start began on March 20, 2003, and although it was opposed by the United Nations, the United States and its backers continued with their plans, in order to confiscate the supposed Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD). Upon further investigation, there turned out to be no WMD, but I think the most beneficial outcome of this situation was the liberation of the Iraqi people from the dictatorship of Saddam Hussein, who was captured and removed from power on December 13, 2003. By helping the innocent Iraqi's who suffered from this tyrants power for decades, I believe the occupation of Iraq was more than beneficial. On January 31, 2005 the Iraqi Transitional Government was set to draft a new constitution for the Iraqi people, so then could live free lives without the fear of punishment or death. Restoring power to the people was a step in the right direction.
