Your timeline is a bit muddled here: the invasion of Iraq (involving a great many Western countries) was in 2003, the Arab Spring (where Western countries by and large steered well clear) was in 2010.

Other than the US and Britain and a token force from Australia, which western countries invaded Iraq?

Don't forget Poland.

That can't be right : the countries you list might have occupied Iraq at one point in time, but did not partake in the invasion.

It was the US, UK, AU and PL : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2003_invasion_of_Iraq

Thanks for the correction; didn't realize Mongolia was a western country.
