Countries often invade other countries for resources. It's wrong, though.

Depends on whether the country being invaded should have ever been created or not. It's hard to argue the 200,000 people of little Brunei deserve their massive oil wealth more than the millions of people of surrounding Malaysia. If Malaysia were to invade Brunei in order to get Brunei's resources, and invading Malaysia were to then more equitably distribute those resources amongst the millions of people of Malaysia, would that be wrong, or just rectifying an earlier historical injustice?

Losers of wars are not rewarded with what they started with is my point.

The '48 and '67 and '73 Arab-Israeli wars were not started over resources. I don;t the hezbos are after resources today either.
