Yes, money is ONE factor. But not in a "do it for greed" kind of way.

Saddams wars were bought and paid for. They were NOT wars of principle. Saddam wanted to leverage his oil wealth to gain more oil wealth, by force.

So yes, the US/UK stopping Saddam, has been in part about oil; BUT, implying that the US/UK is there to take the oil is absurd.

It should be evident that some actions, in this world, are NOT simpley about gaining the money. Though for some others, it is all about getting paid.
