Summary

After the September 11 terrorist attacks and the war in Afghanistan, President George W. Bush began promoting an invasion of Iraq, arguing that the Iraqi government was developing weapons of mass destruction and had also collaborated with members of Al Qaeda in planning the September 11 attacks. However, many argued that the Bush administration exaggerated the threat posed by Iraq and had ulterior motives—namely, the opportunity to gain control of Iraqi oil fields. Should the United States have gone to war against Iraq, or was such an action out of proportion to the threat the nation actually posed?

This eBook discusses the Iraq War and delves into the pro and con arguments that surrounded it. It includes a timeline, primary sources, a bibliography, and a "Learn More About" chapter for more information on the topic.
