Is there any evidence for the Iraq War being about oil?

Are you talking about those hundreds of thousands dying under Saddam's regime, or the US?

what's the point of the question? the people died by the us become less important or what exactly?

I actually can't believe there are some people who still defend the war, a shame really.

There are several points on which the war is defendable. Certainly minorities such as the Kurds are better off now than they were under Saddam and the country is now stabilising.

As it happens I disagree with the war and especially the way in which it was started, but I can see how people can think the war was good for Iraq - especially in the long term.
