Why Invade Iraq?

As one wise old man said, the invasion of Iraq is just for these three reasons:



OIL



O: stands for oil. US needs the middle east oil and Iraq has the second largest oil resources in the world



I : stands for Israel. The very powerful Israeli lobby used the American military to get rid of one of its staunchest enemies in the region.



L : US needs "land bases" in the middle east to guard the flow of oil and it will now have it in Iraq.



But the real victor in all this tragedy has been Israel. The long term goal of the Israeli government is to split up the large countries in the middle east into small feuding states. It is better to have three small weak feuding Kurd, Shiite and Sunni state in Iraq instead of one powerful central government that can be a force against Israel.

Israel has the same plan for Iran, and the other larger states in the middle east. Let us hope it can't be as successful in carrying out the plan as it was in case of Iraq.
