In August 1990 Iraq seized Kuwait, but was expelled by US-led, UN coalition forces. Following Kuwait's liberation, the UN Security Council required Iraq to destroy all weapons of mass destruction and long-range missiles, and to allow UN inspections.After twelve years of non-compliance, US-led forces entered Iraq and destroyed Hussein's government.The Iraqi people now look forward to a difficult, but hopeful future.
