The reasons I listed above are not mine but Richard Perle's and wolfowitz argumentation for an American intervention in Iraq.

It is not a criticism of the war in Iraq on the contrary I believe it was a very bold plan but they didn't put the means first hand to see it succeeding.

If you read closer S-2 your comment is very much in line with what I posted before: a constant worry not to see a dominant regional power emerging, a divide and rule strategy, and of course the freedom of trade maintained above all (means the end of the Saudi monopoly)..
