My thoughts on the invasion of Iraq are simple. Saddam Hussien was trading oil in Euros. The American dollar is THE currency that oil is traded in, which makes it the WORLDS reserve currency. With Iraq selling oil in Euros, the threat of more OPEC members switching to the Euro and other currencies was immenent. We HAD to take him out or risk economic collapse. Iran has been planning an oil bourse (exchange) for several years now, to trade oil in Euros. Hence, all the sabre rattling against Iran currently. It has nothing to do with WMD or nukes or whatever. The Powers That Be probably figure the American people aren't smart enough to support a war based on this premise, so they came up with the wmd excuse for Iraq and the expanding nuclear program for Iran. No matter what figurehead/cheerleader resides at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, we will not be leaving Iraq anytime soon. Money makes the world go 'round.
