Secondly....I think it was common sense to anticipate that oil production in Iraq would have dropped. You freakin' invaded the country and destroying most of the infrastructure, removed the government, and took out of power most of the people making the oil flow in Iraq.
My reason for the invasion is simple. Bush thought Saddam had WMD, or was developing them; he thought Saddam was a threat; Bush felt that a decade of screwing over the UN meant that Saddam was hiding something.
Had the US actually have had people in Iraq figuring out what Saddam was hiding, or what he wasn't for that matter....there wouldn't have been a war.
Thirdly....war is not moral attribute....illegal war or not. At least not in my books.
