First off...don't tell people to grow up. This makes you look childish.

Second...gas is in fact cheap in the USA compared to just about every other location in the world. We DO NOT get most of our gas from Iraq. We get it from Saudi Arabia, Canada, Nigeria and Venezuela like I stated above.

Bush really wants to keep gas prices high so people will consume less. He is also trying to build back up the national oil reserve. Local oil companies are making a killing off current oil prices. Bush has awarded some of them government contracts.

Third...China is growing at a very fast rate. They no longer can live off of their own oil supply. They have been importing massive quantities of oil, lumber, steel, cement and other building supplies. These numbers will only increase in the future. This has driven up the price of all of these products.

And yes the war has had an effect on oil price as well. But not as much as you think. You are the one that should really think before you post...
