A community portal about The Iraq War with blogs, videos, and photos. According to Wikipedia.org: The Iraq War, also known as the Second Gulf War, started with the 2003 invasion of Iraq. Subsequent occupation of Saddam Hussein -led Ba'athist Iraq by a United States -led coalition has resulted in ongoing asymmetric warfare between resistance forces and coalition forces. The New Iraqi Army was created to replace the old one that was disbanded after the U.S. led invasion. In the midst of fighting between resistance, coalition, and Iraqi forces, sectarian civil war between the majority Shia and minority Sunni populations continues today. The causes and consequences of the war remain controversial.
