[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 76053, member: 2189"] Sorry IP for the confusion because had you been who I thought you were we'd already had the discussion via PM's of the Iraq/Euro connections and it has to do with the fact that several years ago prior to the most recent invasion Saddam was planning on by-passing OPEC policy that all oil trades take place in dollars and are either made at the NY or London Commodities exchanges. Many believe, myself included, that this has more to do with the situation in Iraq that any weapons or the effort to democratize the country. Everyone already agreed Saddam must go, even Gore did and said so in his speech. It also made sense to regime change in Iraq rather than Iran or Syria IMO because Iraq was in fact a more secular society. When Saddam invaded Kuwait, Osama was the first one to stand up and cry for them to go in and remove Iraq forces from Kuwait. He has no love for Saddam. Osama got mad because instead of it being Arabs solving an Arab problem, the Americans came and built bases and stayed. I'm no fan of Osama but I can understand and respect that feeling. The powers that be feared an internal Arab struggle would lead to disruption of oil flow so we rode in to protect our own interests. Another good reason to eliminate our need of foreign oil. As for euro's well it's no different than our so-called dollars. It's all fractional reserve banking and a myth on paper anyway. I say scrape it all and go back to gold and silver or let individuals determine what they agree to make in trade. Problem with that is it's had for a super-state to tax that because they can't control the entire business process. That's the beauty of it IMO! Couple of articles to read with the first having come out about the time of invasion of Iraq by GW and forces. The second is only a couple of weeks ago and oddly notice the similarity of events and the resulting saber rattling.

BTW:For those who don't understand my comment "so-called dollars" I invite you to read the 1792' Coinage Act just for starters.
