On March 20, 2003, the United States of America led invasion of Iraq was launched, beginning with the Bush Doctrine of 'pre-emptive strike', with this action having been explained to the American people as being a necessary action after it was alleged that evidence existed that linked Iraq to Al Qaeda, identified as those responsible for the terrorist attack on the United States on September 11, 2001.
A link to an online informational resource about Iraq and the aftermath of the invasion called Iraq in Transition.
