The United States invaded Iraq in alliance with Britain on early 2003, winning a quick military victory and ousting the government of Saddam Hussein which has suffered 13 years of sanctions.
Though the US and the UK claimed they acted in accordance with international law, bypassing United Nations when they realised they could not get past veto power of China and Russia. The invading countries like Australia have been given unofficial role to police their surrounding area as United States try to push their ideology across the globe. They thought they have the whole world under control. They can start manipulating natural resources they wanted from Middle East and try to implement the so called democracy they want and the war on terror they want.

Since then, the US-UK occupation has encountered increasing armed resistance in Iraq, and support for the war and occupation has steadily declined in the invading countries.
An overwhelming majority of the world's governments and people thought this is the war wrong in the first place. It has created more hatred towards to Western world especially among the Muslims, our freedom has been compromised as Guatamao Bay can jail the so called terrorist without trial for more than 5 years and people start wondering is the bomb the only way to solve the crisis we have.
UN is powerless to help preventing this. United States has become too pushy towards everything they want to do. People start wondering the resistance they have in Iraq is the punishment to them. People start to think is the world has become increasing dangerous.
