Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Before the American invasion in 2003, Iraq was under the autocratic rule of Saddam Hussein. It was not a representative democracy or a monarchy. While there were other ruling factions within the government, including Sunni elites, it cannot be classified as an oligarchy as the regime ultimately rested in the hands of Hussein. Additionally, while Iraq was struggling with economic difficulties and political opposition, it does not meet the criteria of a failed state.
