		Following Iraq's occupation of Kuwait in 1990, and the subsequent expulsion by international troops, Iraq was internationally isolated until the spring of 2003, when the United States and the United Kingdom controversially invaded and removed the Ba'ath Party from leadership and continue to occupy the country.
		Iraq's seizure of Kuwait in August 1990, subsequent international economic sanctions, and damage from military action by an international coalition beginning in January 1991 drastically reduced economic activity.
		Following the 2003 invasion of Iraq the economy has to a great extent shut down and attempts are underway to revive it from the damages of the war and rampant crime.

		The 2003 invasion of Iraq was the first military act of the Iraq War, and was launched by the United States and the United Kingdom on March 20, 2003, with support from some other governments, making up what was described as the "coalition of the willing".
		The legitimacy of the invasion is disputed: the officially stated legal reason was that Iraq illegally possessed Weapons of Mass Destruction in violation of UN Security Council Resolution 1441.
		United States military operations were conducted first under the codename Operation Iraqi Liberation [11] (http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2003/03/20030324-4.html), quoted by Ari Fleischer on March 24, 2003, but was soon renamed Operation Iraqi Freedom [12] (http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2003/04/20030403-3.html), as quoted by George W.
