In 2003, as part of its "War on Terror", the United States invaded Iraq and removed dictator Saddam Hussein from power.

Explanation:

The invasion of Iraq, which occurred between March 20 and May 1, 2003, was carried out by a coalition of countries, led by the United States along with the United Kingdom, Australia and Poland. The invasion marked the beginning of the war in Iraq, within the framework of the War on Terror.

The reasons for the invasion were to disarm Iraq of weapons of mass destruction, end the support provided by Saddam Hussein to terrorism, and achieve the freedom of the Iraqi people.
