i don't think it was for oil . Do you know what i think. I think America wants to make Norte America with Canada, the US and Mexico and Latin America. Just like Europe. But i don't think there are fences in most of the countries when they are making a united empire. What do you think. Do you think this is why Mexicans are mad or do you think they are wondering too? I think even China is excluded. Don't you? I don't think they care. But they didn't get Jumbo Planes-either.

USA want contol of the world oil supply. Saddam was not playing with them anymore and was going to sign a deal with China and Russia when the U.N. oil sanctions came to a close. Yes it was about oil, it certainly was not about Weapons of Mass Destruction, or the USA supported gassing of the Kurds in the Eighties. Don't forget Saddam was a USA hero until he invaded the US oil port of Kuwait.

I can only answer the question re oil.Saddam Hussein was an out of control madman,who did have wmd's, he got rid of them when it was obvious the USA was going to clean them out.He most certainly was a threat to world security.Having said that,everything we humans do for good purposes always has some self interest,in this case it was probably to secure oil supply,but I think that purpose was secondary.As oil supply dwindles,watch other nations scramble for secure supply,which may involve all out war.

Here's a better question, If it was totally about getting oil then why are we even trying to help rebuild iraq why don't we just put all of our troops around the oil fields and pump the country dry.

It has nothing at all to do with oil. Good vs. Evil like the first comment.

Ask yourself this: If Iraq didn't have oil, would we be there? I doubt it. There are plenty of other places that have bad rulers that we haven't invaded.
