I overheard a looney leftist at a nearby table at a restaurant yesterday. She said that if it wasn't for oil, we would be after dealing with Saddam.

There is truth to what she says. Without oil, Iraq would be Ethiopia. Iraq has money to fund Saddam's palaces and weapons projects because the nation has money. Without oil money, they would be another poor nation. Without the weapons, Saddam wouldn't pose a threat. So yes we must deal with Iraq because they have oil but we do not have to deal with Saddam beacause we "want to take" his oil. We did not take the Kuwaiti oil fields either.

Right on. My position is a tyrant dictator who has been defeeted, and who has billions of dollars at his disposal; has plenty of motives and the funds to harm us. He must be changed.
