American wars in Iraq were a defining feature of global politics for almost thirty years. The Gulf War of 1991, the American invasion of Iraq in 2003, and the campaign against the Islamic State beginning in 2014 each had their own logic. Each occurrence was a distinct conflict; however they must not only be considered in isolation. The United States spent the 1990s trying but failing to implement the Gulf War's cease fire agreement. After the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, American leaders decided to settle the open-ended aftermath of the Gulf War by launching the Iraq War of 2003.

Di cose da offrire a un ragazzo di diciott'anni, Pandino non ne ha poi molte: novemila abitanti, quindici bar, dieci parrucchieri, cinque pizzerie d'asporto, una torre dell'Enel dove s'intrecciano i graffiti d'intere generazioni, due chiese, un santuario, neanche una libreria.
