Abstract
The key purpose of this article is to understand the proclaimed purpose of the US invasion of Iraq and subsequently analyze Americans promises to build new infrastructure and develop a new economy of the country. By discussing the steps taken by the US government after the invasion of Iraq towards restructuring and reconstruction of the country, the author defined reasons for the American failure in restructuring of the state. The qualitative methods of research was employed to analyze the failure of the United States in the political and economic restructuring of Iraq. The data was collected from different sources including scientific journals, research papers and articles published by the different websites. This paper concludes that war cannot be summarized as a humanitarian intervention. Especially invasion of a country without UN’s Security Council’s approval itself creates doubt on the legitimacy of the political reforms and economic restructure of the invaded country. Author verified that beside the post 2003 complex political situation in Iraq, the American intervention brought the country’s economy back to the zero point.

Summary
United States occupied Iraq in order to topple the Saddam’s regime in 2003. apparently declared aim of the invasion which took place under the excuse of weapons of mass destruction, was to make political reforms and rebuild the economic infrastructure of Iraq. The US had to abandon its efforts in mid-way of Iraqi statebuilding in post 2009 period and extracted its troops from Iraq after 2011. This created a vacuum of control that exposed Iraq to radical forces like Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS). In this entire period, the US could not create any dynamic plan to handle the civil war and stabilize Iraq but instability encourage ISIS – trusting deeply on Kurds from Syria in the route and in 2016-2018 scored added success by terminating the caliphate of ISIS (Ishiguro, K., 2017)
