The whole reason for going to war in Iraq, as in Afghanistan, is to give American oil companies more control over the supply of oil. They need to keep control of it to keep the edge over China. Blair's stated reasons for going into Iraq are seen in this light as outright lies. It was never about weapons of mass destruction, or charitable concern for the oppressed masses of Iraq. That was just window dressing, to make a geopolitical necessity palatable to the public. For this reason do not expect to see and end to this 'war' in your lifetime. If anything you can expect to see it spread. Saudi Arabia is the next favourite venue for intervention. The increase in terrorism in that country provides the beginings of a pretext for invasion. America is on high alert for a terrorist attack this summer to coincide with the US Presidential elections. Such an attack will put the final seal on the plans. Can you imagine what the response of the muslim world would be to an American led invasion of Saudi Arabia?
