If there was no oil in Iraq...would we, or any of "the coalition of the willing", be there? I'm afraid it is just that simple.
Sadam was dumping a lot of oil on the world market, to prop up his own sorry ass...and it was making it difficult for the other players to get the price they wanted (i.e. oil @ $22/bbl when Clinton left office - now vacillating between $42-45/bbl).
Bottom line is we're tradin' our blood to maximize profits for a few in the oil distribution\production markets - the rest is just prpoganda and spin to fool the ignorant.
