Should we (US, GB and friends) have invaded Iraq? Yes. For a number of reasons.
Did Oil have anything to do with it? I'm sure it did. Though that wasn't the only or main reason. Alot of people are yelling and screaming about the US getting their hands on all this oil, but hey, who had it before? Saddam and his buddies. At least the US will be careful how they exploit such reserves, because the whole world is watching and expecting the worst. Saddam didn't care who was looking over his shoulder.
Were there WMDs? Probably at one time. Maybe they were destroyed. Maybe hidden. Maybe shipped to Syria or Iran. We may never know.
I believe this war will be remembered as the biggest Public Relations and Diplomatic fiasco of the 21st Century. At least I hope it is. I'd hate to think that the US or any other country could ever mess up this bad again.
