Increase in production
It's assumed that a positive regime change in Iraq would be followed by increased foreign investment and development in the petroleum sector, and a big increase in production. Exactly how much of this investment comes from Russian, French, and other European and American companies is exactly what's being negotiated behind the scenes right now. Of course most of the benefits would go to the new Iraqi regime and the Iraqi people, and would greatly help restore that educated Iraqi middle class that Saddam has so thoroughly destroyed during his reign of terror.
