If the Iraq is colonized, then why the oil

Perhaps because:
(1)
It was colonized by and army controlled by those who profit from high
oil prices.
(2)
Those who colonized it screwed up badly.

I think the problem is fundamental: the $101.11 is what happens if you
try to do the things by brute force. This turns out to be very
inefficient due to many reasons, including what you mentioned.
It would be nice if the natives pump the oil by themselves, voluntarily
and happily; that's what that propaganda about the democratic Iraq is
for. It could be possible to set up the new Saddam, however the tough
guy can run out of control and you will have to start all over again.
A deadlock situation.

(3)
High oil prices were ordained by God and thus nothing can prevent
them.

(4)
China and India etc sudden;t discovered what a nice thing cars are.

China and India dicovered that they are the people also. So they are
going to set their rules.
