Iraq
Country of Saddam Hussein, and a member of the Axis of Evil. Saddam invaded Kuwait in 1991 and was routed by American-led allied forces under U.S. President George H.W. Bush. At that time, Iraq agreed to allow weapons inspectors into Iraq and then Saddam changed his mind. Iraq was subsequently accused of aiding terrorism and producing weapons of mass destructions.
In November, 2002, the United Nations security council passed unanimously a resolution demanding that Iraq allow weapons inspectors and that they destroy any weapons of mass destrubtion. The U.N. later ignored its own resolution, as did Saddam, after U.N.'s own inspectors found 11 undeclared empty chemical warheads in southern Iraq.
The allied forces marched and flew into Bagdhad, apparently sending Saddam and his grown sons and henchmen into hiding.
