When my generation, Gen-Z, thinks about the Iraq War, it’s usually the visual images and videos like the infamous banner behind then US President George W. Bush which said “mission accomplished”, on the aircraft carrier, USS Abraham Lincoln, when he addressed US troops on May 1st 2003, celebrating the success of the US and coalition forces in getting rid of the regime of Saddam Hussein. Another famous meme made from the war was from a press conference where a US diplomat, Paul Bremer, said “Ladies and Gentlemen, We Got Him", and who couldn’t forget that one Iraqi journalist who threw the shoe at President Bush at a press conference back in 2008 (the orginal shoes were destroyed, but there was a statue of it at an Iraqi orphanage.)
