Your last point is amusing and EXACTLY what happens when the price of a good is increasing. Each consumer makes decisions about the use of that resource/service and then acts. Some folks won't date the girl, some will, some will ask her to meet at the motel half way.
Others will use their motorcycle for a romantic outing.
Re: the Iraq oil, the oil is flowing. In and of itself, it won't make a large dent in price, simply not enough there.
I think the interesting issue is that we are willing to fight a war around the world to ensure oil is pumping (among other things) but we will not confront the greens in the US on getting at more of our own oil or in building Nuclear PPs here in the US.
