The distribution of oil resources was not a major concern for U.S. policy makers when they decided to invade Iraq and promote democracy in the Middle East. The main goals were to promote stability, improve security against terrorism, and spread democratic values in the region. While resource distribution may have been seen as a potential benefit of democratization, it was not a key factor in the decision to invade.
