Off topic derailing the thread !I see your point, but I am pointing out the fact that multiple reasons led to invasion of Iraq.
Yes, US is boosting its business activities from wars and regional conflicts:
US Looking for Contractors to Help in Iraq
How The US Floods The World With Weapons And Brings Billions Back Home
However, US does not needs to occupy Iraq to gain access to resources of the Middle East proper. Iraq is not the only resourceful nation in the Middle East. GCC member states (collectively) have more resources then a single country in the Middle East and US have positive relationship with all GCC member states.
When Saddam Hussein attacked a GCC member state (Kuwait) in 1990, he became a threat to US interests in the Middle East. Why? Because it was not in the interests of US that a hostile country becomes a dominating force in the Middle East, takes over GCC states one by one and therefore harm US business activities in the region. GCC member states also felt that it was necessary to stop Saddam Hussein and played a role in motivating US to take action against him.
