TWENTY years ago this month, on Sept 12, 2002, US President George W. Bush stood before the United Nations and warned that Saddam Hussein’s Iraq was a “grave and gathering danger”, setting the stage for an invasion six months later based on false premises about super-destructive weapons and purported connections to the Sept 11, 2001, attacks on the World Trade Center towers in New York City and the Pentagon in Washington DC.
The war ultimately killed 4,500 Americans and more than 100,000 Iraqis, and cost the United States US$800bil , according to the Council on Foreign Relations.
