Muharrem Dogan
ABSTRACT
Although more than a decade has passed after the Iraq War, it is still a controversial question why did the US occupy Iraq in 2003. Many scholars claim that the real reason of the invasion is Iraqi oil which is based on economic reasons. However, it is also claimed that military reasons such as the 9/11 attacks and the assumption of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) by Saddam Regime might be real reasons behind the invasion. In addition to these reasons, humanitarian reasons are examined as real reasons in some studies. In this essay, military and economic reasons will be mentioned as real reasons behind the invasion. Furthermore, it will be claimed that there is no strong evidence about humanitarian reasons whether, they are interrelated the invasion or not.
Key Words: Iraq War 2003; 9/11 attacks; international terrorism; Iraqi oil; humanitarian reasons
