If radical Islam ran through the region unchecked, it would disrupt the oil supply. Think of oil as a potential weapon in the terror war. This gives Bush a reason to attempt to institute a more democratic regime so that when Saddam falls he isn't replaced by Muhammed al Fluffer Nutter who would turn off the spiggot and support similar insurgencies in places like Saudi Arabia that actually grow people who attack us.
