Your argument would make sense ONLY if we had annexed Iraq as our own and nationalized its oil for ourselves. We didn't.

Without sanctions, Saddam could have sold his oil on the world market, and we probably would have bought some. In any event, since it's a commodity, his oil would have affected world markets no matter who he sold it to.

Iraq is a sovereign nation.

Contrary to your misbelief, Bush and Cheney are not building a secret pipeline from Iraq to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
