Except that lowering price of oil has never been to the benefit of an oil-producing country. Hence the existence of the OPEC cartel. It even says that in the line you quote: "could benefit the United States and other Western oil-consuming countries* by reducing oil prices."* So American army invades Iraq, puts a friendly puppet in power, and starts milking the oil fields. Yeah, in the time of "Might makes right" and where there is economic benefit, who cares if this is a return to imperialist policies?
