> if the war on terror wouod have been about anything other than nations willingnes to sell oil to the West your comment is confusing, I can't quite grasp what you're trying to say, but just to clarify: The first Iraq War was about Iraq invading Kuwait. In the period leading up to the second Iraq War, there were sanctions on Iraq and Iraq was not allowed to sell oil. Iraq (and France) wanted to lift the sanctions. The war was not about getting Iraq's oil, Iraq was begging to deliver it.
