Just on oil. I also agree with Sartesian. During the last Gulf War, I debated a few folks about this "No War for Oil" (the ISO slogan in fact at the time). The fact is that it is not the ownership of the land, oil underneath and the facilities to pump and transport it that the U.S. we concerned about. It was about the control of the oil that was the main concern. In Iraq the money US companies made, like Haliburton, was field maintenance and drilling, and some pipeline/refinery repairs. Not the oil itself. What U.S. Imperialism wanted was to restrict where that oil could go and that is what it achieved in Iraq.
