Bob, that's a completely childish way of looking at the Boer War. The oil is of significant importance but not formost in this particular case. I believe I read somewhere that 3.5% of US oil comes from Iraq. What do you think is going to happen here; the US wins the war and then just pulls her tankers up to the country and starts pumping crude? They may have thumbed their nose at the UN but they do still have to have international acceptance. Other countries may take offense to that.
