You're exactly right. The US invaded Iraq to secure the oil. The people behind the scenes don't care if Iraqis have democracy or live in slavery as long as WE secure the oil coming from there. Iraq has the second largest reserves in the world, and was politically much easier to justify invading than Saudi Arabia, which has the largest reserve, thanks to Saddam Insane. Still, with our troops permanently stationed in Iraq, we've got a staging point for any future take over of Saudi Arabia, if needed. Most international wars are fought over resources.
