It's not a "war for oil" (as you state, the oil belongs to Iraq). In what should be obvious to any sentient being, the only reason the West gives a ***** about the region is to assure that the oil flows and is available at a reasonable price. Nobody is out to steal it. We are more than willing to buy it. But the Sunni vs Shia war you fantasize about would disrupt the supply.

I hope everything I just typed is glaringly obvious to you.
