The war in Iraq was controversial and unpopular because most importantly, critics have criticized the United States and its partners for failing to commit enough soldiers to the operation, for failing to fully prepare for Iraq after the invasion, and for allowing and committing a large number of human rights violations.
The Iraqi government received tremendous support from many countries. For many years, the United States and Europe have allied with Iraq.
