Do you remember the start of the Iraq War?

Yes (born 1988).

Of course.

I was extremely anti-Bush and anti-Republican back then.

My final 2015 high-school exam in English involved much of the 2004 Presidential election and the main issues in it, so basically everything from 9/11, Powell's fake images, the invasion etc. to Bush's 2nd inauguration. I guess the torture at Abu Ghraib came up at that time too ...

The torture at Abu Ghraib must've been especially infuriating for you: missing the party.

Somebody in school convinced me his dad worked for mi6 doing top secret Iraq work, and that Hussein had people looking for his dad. I was duly impressed. (His dad actually worked for the borough councils planning department which is pretty much the same thing).

It'll be embarrassing, but back when I was about 8 and there was a lot of talk about air strikes on Iraq, I was actually scared of seeing guys with mustaches dumping chemical warfare around.

Of course it was way before 2003.

Yes..... both of them.

Having been born in 1988 I shouldn't remember the first war, but I have vague random memories about seeing TV running with the coverage. Before we're about five, we only have such random memories.
