This project is an attempt to document the various US misdeeds committed during its occupation of Iraq, which started in April of 2003. It takes a look at the strategic military blunders, coerced neoliberal reforms, human rights abuses, and corrupt contracting practices that plagued the US’ nation-building efforts and eventually led to Iraq’s current anarchic state of sectarian chaos.
