But they have. You can\'t deny that occupying an oil-rich country isn\'t going to do much good for global oil prices. Had Iraq not been situated above one of the last huge fossil fuel reserves there\'s left, the price wouldn\'t have gone up so dramatically. Either the Bush administration didn\'t realise or at least underestimated that effect, or they went in there with the explicit intent to raise oil prices. I don\'t know which is scarier...
