2003 Iraq War (3/20/2003-) is presently the largest war operation in the world. The war started when 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[1] as a result of the war.
Hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians have fled to neighboring Jordan and Syria since the 2003 invasion.
