The paper examines analysts’ views on the military action of the USA in Iraq in 2003 arguing whether the aim of the invasion was to demonstrate the US military power and use terrorism as a replacement for communism to galvanise support for the military action. The weaknesses of the US argument for a ‘War on Terror’ are considered discussing the shift in international relations after the Cold War.
