First of all some facts about Iraq:
2nd largest oil reserves of the world, currently producing 1.5 million barrel a day but it could be easily 6 million a day.
According to the "Cheney Report" released in 2001 the USA urgently needs access to new oil reserves. Furthermore it says that the US has to raise their oil import from 10.4 million a day now to 17 million in 2020. In case the import of oil would decline it would significantly hurt our economy. A former top manager of "MOBIL" said that the american lifestyle depents on the import of 20 million a day but only half of it is currently being imported. We are like a patient at the oil-dialysis and our life depents on raising the imports.
Until 9/11 the USA imported most of their oil from Saudi Arabia and Venezuela but due to the politic crises in Venezuela most of the importans came to a standstill and they furthermore do not trust Saudi Arabia anymore. They tried to get oil from Russia and Africa but the most easiest way is getting it from Iraq because the oil is right under the sand .
In an interview with the Boston Globe Powell said, being asked about the possibility of US companies getting control of the oilfields: "If we become into power there, it is kept for the well-being of the Iraqi people and related"
However the members of the US government do not seem to be completely united in this question.
From the offices of prominent Pentagon coworkers demands became loud to pay at least partly the costs for the war on Iraq by using the profits from the selling of Iraqi oil.
At least the daily costs of the planned 18-months long deployment, which is to lead to the establishment of a democratic system in the Iraq should be covered (according to vice-president Cheney).

So do you guys really need any more facts why the US wants to get into war?
I can tell you that I will never ever travel to Spain again. They just want to have a slice of the cake. Their PM just wants to get involved into Saudi Arabia and Bush welcomes the move to waeken Europe and split it up. Even more as it is at the moment.
From my point of view Tony Blair won`t be the UK PM in 6 months from now anymore. Bush will save his next election by lowering the oil prices and controling the Arabian World. Spain is getting nowhere in Europe. You will see a strong European coaliton of France-Germany-Russia. The European Union won`t be the same anymore. Europe will just share their currency and they boarders. In Europe the UK has some Allies but will mostly being isolated. The USA will never get into war with North Korea but trying to regain the partnership with the opposing european countries as they most probably need them in the future because every expert says that someday in the mid-future China will face the USA and therefore the USA needs their Allies.
