Iraq wasn't for oil, it was to ensure the petrodollar stays in use. The other plus side was taking Saddam out of power (because he was a dickhole). Of course the official reason was 'WMD', which didn't exist.

What I find terrible is the fact the country is ruined now. Although the fall of the Middle East can be traced back to the partitions of post World War One.
The only stable regions are Jordan (which is a poor country) and the Gulf, which is filled with the most barbaric and inhumane laws and rules I have ever heard of. Oh yeah and Israel who continues to impose this idiotic occupation on Palestinian land and continues to evict native Palestinians from their home to build more settlements for the Jewish people.
It's sad that how a region which was home to great discoveries in Math and Science and had such a rich history is just a big war zone now.
