The aftermath of the war in Iraq was pretty significant. The war in Iraq completely destroyed the economy. This directly caused more poverty among the people living in Iraq, along with the unemployment rate being a new time high. This brings new diseases, as people do not have money to go to the hospital, and mental illnesses as well. The cultural and heritage of Iraq is also getting destroyed, as they do not have the money or power to keep things up and protect their heritage, so people are turning to stealing valuable items for money.
