United States Involvment in Iraq

This paper is about my beliefs and opinions about the United States involvement in Iraq. After the end of The Gulf War in 1991, the United States kept up a low-level but deadly conflict. They declared that their goal was to end the dictatorship of Saddam Hussein (their former ally). Iraq has the world’s second largest proven oil reserves. The United States had the first largest proven oil reserves. Because the price to pay the middle eastern children or adult workers to produce the oil is so much less than the cost of the highly paid United States workers to produce the oil, Iraq’s oil is extraordinarily less expensive than United States oil to produce. This price of the Iraq oil lead to a gold-rush of profits for international oil firms in a post-Saddam setting. The prime motivation for the United States involvement in Iraq is the oil and the price of it. I do not believe the United States would be as interested in Iraqi affairs if oil were not a main factor. Iraq is one of the key players in the oil industry. The United States is mainly there for the oil. The United States is trying to set up the Iraqi government to benefit the United States in the future and present affairs. There are also other key roles in the United States involvement in Iraq. Another reason for the United States involvement is to disarm them of weapons of mass destruction.
