What I feel long and short term US benefits and reason behind occupying Iraq-
1) Saddam will not use his hired crooks to bomb US or US interest worldwide.
2) Resolve Israel and Palestine problem. Saddam was paying $25k to each suicide bomber. So called main reason for world wide terrorism by Muslim.
3) European Union was main concern. EU was pushing for future Oil dealing in Euro. By this US Dollar as main international business currency will lose its value and importance and US as a power.
4) China was directly helping or providing Middle East rouge countries with future weapon in exchange for long term Oil deals or in hope they will be used against US.
5) China is growing economically and world oil resources will dwindle, everyone wants to sit on largest oil resource to survive.
6) US can use Oil as a blackmailing tool in future. One may soon see India's bumper growth may go down soon. India or China can't maintain growth with this Oil price. China manufacturing sector will collapse.
7) Level of terrorism or causality is still very low, if you compare long term benefit.
US as a country, long term objective is to stay as Super Power in every aspect. Yes, what goes up comes down, Great Britain collapsed but ruled world for 200 years.
