Would you consider this to be an accurate statement: The Iraq War did not begin because of oil. However, it should be continued for oil. See answer for details.

Sorry for the crappy section didn't know where else to put it. Anyways, I think that the iraq war should be continued because if we leave Iraq, even slowly, the nation would be in complete chaos. If it was in chaos, then the surrounding countries would more than likely take it over. Lets just choose iran since i know those numbers. Iraq has roughly, 20% of the worlds oil, Iran has another 20%. If they have 40% of the worlds oil, they have considerable power. They can leave OPEC and just choose to not sell oil to anyone. If they leave, then the rest of the oil prices will take a price hike and then the economy of the U.S. and other nations would have a HUGEEE problem to deal with. Eventually there would be a happy time after the country left OPEC but the in-between period would be hell for the countries.

I know oil is a never ceasing issue, though I can't believe we will gain much ground in that regard, and it will be worse obviously if obama wins and pulls out of Iraq, ending the war on terrorism.
