1 The Iraq war has cost the United States over 1.2 Trillion dollars since 2003 However when Saddam Hussein was over-thrown in 2003 the Iraqi unemployment rate skyrocketed to nearly 60 percent following the United States debaa’thification

2 Deba’athification took place in Iraq after the fall of Saddam Hussein. Deba’athification was the removal of anyone in the ba’ath party formally headed by Saddam Hussein from their job. This removed all political figures and almost one third of the normal population from their jobs. This caused the unemployment rate to immediately jump and the economy to come crashing down.

3 On May 23 rd 2003 The Iraqi Military was disbanded by L. Paul Bremer. The disbanding caused almost 200,000 people to be without jobs adding to the already unfathomable unemployment rate.
