Maybe if there weren't oil revenues to divide, the Iraqi political parties wouldn't be fighting so hard against each other.

I'd have to disagree, Carl, that oil revenues are the primary reason for the fighting. It's their tribal culture, enhanced by adherence to various and incompatible flavors of an aggressive, violent, stone age religion. Western values of the rights and freedoms of individuals are pretty much non existent in that part of the world.
