We invaded Iraq because of the Euro
Advertisements [?]
I don't understand why this is not common knowledge but Saddam was nearing the end of sanctions that had been imposed on Iraq after the Gulf War, even Cheney when he headed Halliburton had asked for the sanctions to be lifted. Saddam made it clear that when the sanctions were lifted he planned to except ONLY Euros instead of U.S. dollars for Iraq's oil. That is why we invaded.

Iran has also stated they plan to except only Euros for their oil and we are about to pre-emptively attack them. Venezuela also plans to switch to the Euro and we keep trying to assasinate Chavez.

Without the supremecy of the U.S. dollar our economy will collapse because we over-inflate the dollar and just "print more" to cover our expenses.

Why is this not reported in the media????? How come nobody knows this?
