Where nations are bet and lives are squandered, all for oil and greed, energy and power. Compare these headlines:

CNPC in Iraq looking for old oil deal

Gadhafi: U.S., U.K. use Iraq oil money

China pushes alternate-fuel vehicles

Turkey: Foreign firms want into Iraq oil

Key Iraq Sunni group warns against oil law

Iran: Russian nuclear plant payments made
