First of all, let me say up front that I regard the Iraq War as a mistake and wish we had not gone in retrospect. The fact that I wish we had not gone to Iraq, however, does not mean that I don't find "Green Zone" repugnant.

That being said, no, we are not in Iraq for oil. Also, instead of watching a movie made by Hollywood, I'd recommend this:

Anyway, let's not focus too much on the politics. I'm just curious to understand how "The Hurt Locker" is really a worse film than "Green Zone".
