they get the oil argument for the gulf war which was a war for oil (50%) and a war against agression (iraqs). I tend to agree with you here. Democracy was the overreaching ideological reason and i guess some sort of federalism and viablity of the state would satisfy that somewhat. The immediate goal was wmd and i assume bush believed he had them and was/would develop nukes at his first opportunity. If those both in fact had succeeded 100% on mission accomplished day, plenfiful oil from a friend on the market was certainly one of the dividends to be expected along with modernization of iraqs oil and other facilities by US companies.
