Hi Derek -- if you read the neocon posts, one of the themes is that Iraq was needed to gain secure access to oil so that the US could square-off with Saudi Arabia without fear of an oil embargo -- security of oil supplies is a key aspect of the invasion of Iraq. Invading Iraq was economic "self-defense".
