There are over 300 million Americans. 2/3 of Americans did not even vote so there is no way you can give a valid judgment or an opinion on how we all think.

Also, oil is far from the only reason we are in Iraq. To bring oil stability and protection in the area. Also, many know the reason we are in Iraq is a pawn move to block the Chinese. The real war going on here is a economic war due to the Chinese currency being undervalued and them declining an original agreement for American companies to sell in China. By controlling the area and oil we are slowing Chinas growth.
