I think of it more as shedding blood to keep Saddam Hussein from using force to acquire control of a large chunk of the world's proven oil reserves to finance the building of a truly formidable military machine and weapons of mass destruction.
It's not the oil. It's what he'd do with it.

He'd be able to do more than Stalin? Build an even greater war machine while new oil reserves are discovered all over the world? Where would he take this war machine? Do you think he'd overrun the Israeli's and their nukes? Calling Hussien the next Hitler is really an insult the horrors Hitler accomplished.
