The idea of going to War first started in 2002 when the United Nations caught an inside word that Saddam was making weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. So, the United Nations signed the Resolution of 1441 which stated that Iraq had to let United Nations weapons inspectors search for weapons of mass destructions. Saddam did nit allow them in.
This made the United Nations mad and we got the idea that he was supporting Al-Queda. We later figured out that Saddam was treating the Iraqi people bad, and on March 30th, 2003 Bush ordered an invasion on Iraq. After this invasion more and more terriost attacks started to happen here in the United States. There was poison gas trucks happening. Over in Iraq there were many land mines that were an attempt to kill the U.S. troops.
We ended up bombing Bangdad the capital city which really weakened the Iraqi army.
We captured Saddam in his hideout on December 13th 2003. This was a huge accomplishment for the U.S. He had his trial and was threatened to death. He asked to be hung. So we hung him.
After, this Iraq then broke out in a civil war and we helped solve that and they had there first election on October 15th, 2005.
After the facts we ended up not finding any WMD.
I think that we did a good thing by going and having a war with Iraq. It helped out the whole world and also the Iraqi people. I love the fact that we helped set up a government in Iraq. I think this is one of the major accomplishments of George W. Bush.
