Not only is it predicted that there will be another war in the future, it is mandated by the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics with its related corollaries found in Murphy's Law...."its the way of things"

They are not looking in the right place's they should go to North Korea, they might find some there. Iraq didn't have any, it was just an excuse for Bush to take us to war.

Americans are dealing with the Arabs and Muslims because they want oil but cannot give compromises against Israel which is a blood relative as a country.  It is very hard since there are conflicting interests in economy and heritage.

Totally agree.  Ever since oil was discovered in the Middle East, the most powerful men and nations on the earth have lusted over the area.  They have bribed leaders, propped up dictators like Saddam, manipulated and cajoled the nations and the people endlessly.  The Saudi  Prince, spiritual leader of the Islamic World, seems to have his own agenda along with all the other players, and this  all  combines to make the mess in Iraq we see today.  That the people of Iraq could be free to chose their own destiny is almost a laughable concept, as they haven't ever been free, and it doesn't look like anyone will leave them alone long enough to figure it out for themselves, if indeed that is what we are really doing there.

The vast majority of Iraqi oil is sold to Asia and Europe.  The last time I checked, the US bought less then 5% of the Iraqi oil exports.\n\nHowever, you also have to understand how the oil market works.  Supertankers frequently pick up oil under contract, often from several different depots.  So a Tanker may get oil from AUE, Iraq, and Kuwait.  It then takes it to Asia, where it is offloaded and stored.  That oil will then be loaded onto another tanker and sent to the US West COast for refining and distribution.\n\nOil is a very fungible commodity.  Just like Gold, it is seperated and mixed with oil from other sources, from manny different locations.  It is often stored by 3rd parties, and refined by 4th parties.\n\nSo has Iraqi oil been used in the US?  Of course.  Just like South African Gold was used in US jewelry during the embargo during the 1980's.\n\nDid the US go to war for oil?  Of course not.  It would have been cheaper to simply do something like forse the UN to remove the trade sanctions and prop up Saddam with more palace money, or do the same thing with Lybia.\n\nOf course, we could also remove all protection of Israel, then we would probably get free oil forever from some of the nations in the region.  If anybody believes this war was about oil, they have no understanding of international relations and commerce.

I agree, we need to get out of the Iraqi land and let them decide for themselves what kind of government they want. It is wrong to occupy foreign soil, especially for the reasons that Bush gives.

What a mess! USA, Saudi, Saudi, Turkey, Iran, Syria all looking to control the Iraqi oil, the US. sure has a lot to answer for, the instability is has created will cause problems for many years in the middle east, was this the intention? maybe it was, oilmen love high oil prices, arms manufacturers, and military suppliers love war. This catastrophe was predicted, but ignored. Now no-one can predict what will happen next, but you can sure there will be no peace in the region. The Bush regime will back the Saudis as they are like one big family, maybe Saudi approves/ helped develop US. policy, whatever happens the Shites will unite, and if they are bombed they'll unite more quickly. The US. will continue to guard their stolen oil fields, until their war funding is cut off, and when they are forced to leave it will be a free-for-all.

First off the US have their own oil feilds. The war isnt about the bombings. Its about control of the middle eastern oil. The US already controlls most of the worlds oil. In addition there is no shortage of oil. They produce less oil intenchionaly. That way the oil companies, most of which are owned by Bush or his cronnies, get even richer.

There is no agreement on how much oil there is. Therefore, 'peak oil' is a meaningless concept.  Besides, the US media is only interested in attacking their political opponents.  They couldn't care less about facts.

The USA is trying to dominate the world through its terrible foreign policy.\n\nThe policy has as many successes as failures. It's no wonder why we are so hated.

Because they needed a way top control the oil in Iraq and the "war against terrorism" was a excellent justification to do so. . .\n\nThe US is looking to spread it's culture in the middle east before western culture and middle eastern islam meet head on.
