Maybe the Iraq war will one day pay dividends. Maybe yes, maybe no.
There was a big post war economic boom after WWII. Maybe the same thing will happen when the dust settles in Iraq, causing a Middle East renaissance. Maybe oil prices will stabilize or drop a bit.
Let's hope so.

States made WAY more on WW II than they could ever "save" by staying neutral, although Russians really HAVEN'T drived US trucks to Berlin
Of course the Iraq war will pay dividends, although the investition into the oil was huge.
