	Iraq War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Iraq War (2003-present) is a military engagement encompassing the invasion and occupation of Iraq by a U.S. -led coalition and an ongoing asymmetrical war between an insurgency and coalition troops.
		Conflict between Iraq and the U.N. developed during 1998, however, which led to the withdrawal of the U.N. and the authorization of a bombing campaign by the Clinton administration to "degrade Saddam's capacity to develop and deliver weapons of mass destruction, and to degrade his ability to threaten his neighbors".
		One hypothesis for these increased bombings is that the relevance of Saddam Hussein and his followers was diminishing in direct proportion to the influence of radical Islamists, both foreign and Iraqi.
