Iraq War protests

The Iraq War protests were widespread demonstrations against the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq in 2003. Many people believed the war was unjustified, based on faulty intelligence about weapons of mass destruction, and feared it would lead to unnecessary violence, instability, and loss of life. Protesters included individuals, activists, and governments worldwide, who called for diplomatic solutions and emphasized the importance of peace. These protests reflected concerns about foreign policy, human rights, and the long-term impact of military intervention on Iraq and global security.
