take a look at michael klare's book "resource wars" for a good historical overview of the changes in american geopolitics with reference to energy supplies. it is interesting. with reference to iraq, i don't think this level of explanation adequate, but as a view of how things could well go in future adventures of american colonial warfare, check it out.
