The Iraq War started in a completely different circumstance and ended in different result. Mass destruction weapons that the United States considered as the reason of Iraq War were not found. And the evidence of the relationship between Hussein administration and Al Qaeda was also not found. In the Gulf War in 1991, it was a justification to liberate Kuwait. In the Iraq War in 2003, however, the United States could not find answer how to justify the war.

 

The US insisted that the democracy was established after Iraq War as the result of the collapse of Hussein regime. But after the collapse of the Hussein regime Pandora's box was opened in Iraq. Three years later, Saddam Hussein was executed after a public trial, but Iraq still continues a political struggle in which Sunni and Shiites turned the tables. The Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (or al-Sham) (abbreviated ISIS) took the advantage of the circumstance. Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi al-Husseini al-Quraishi proclaimed himself as Calif of Islamic State (IS) and tyrannized the region.
