'''2003 Iraq War''' (3/20/2003-) is presently the largest war operation in the world. The war started when [[United States|U.S.]] president [[George W Bush]] launched a combat operation against [[Iraq]], with the stated goal of deposing dictator [[Saddam Hussein]], finding [[Weapons of Mass Destruction]] and liberating the Iraqi people. It is part of the larger U.S. led [[War on Terrorism]].

Research using robust surveying techniques has estimated that under 65,000 Iraqis have died<ref>[http://www.iraqbodycount.org/], ''[[iraqbodycount.org]]''</ref> as a result of the war.

Hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians have fled to neighboring [[Jordan]] and [[Syria]] since the 2003 invasion.
