9. it's the money, stupid |

oil is too obvious. The neocons are making tons of money through government contracts. And now they are trying to stop "old europe" or specifically France and Germany from royally screwing us by devaluing the dollar.
yes, a side effect of Bush's little endeavors is that the world doesn't feel our currency is stable enough to align with, but the Euro obviously is. OPEC has always hated trading in dollars, soon they won't have to. All they risk is sudden death by bombing. I would not be surprised if Bush declares that Venezuela has WMDs and must be liberated.
Mexico and Canada would not dare align with the Euro or we would just ruin them economically. They are officially our bitches.
