цитирам американец, от който не очаквах да каже каквото и да било негативно за страната си:
Globally, Oil is traded in U.S. Dollars. this keeps our money moving, and this is a good thing (for everyone, not just us). Iraq changed how it sold oil in 1999. Instead of trading in U.S. Dollars (as all oil is) it changed to accept Euros. Now if this were to be let alone (say if iran were 'allowed' to follow as well as other countries who 'were' thinking of changing as well..like venezuela) the chance is there that the standard would change (as more and more countries would need an Euro reserve, not a Dollar reserve in order to buy oil). All oil would be traded via Euros. If this were to happen, all the US money thats floating all over the world would come home (back to the US) this would devalue our dollar (worse case, devalue it to the point of being useless.. like post WW1 german money being useless). most money is off the gold standard so its nothing more then paper anyway... its 'value' is all in perception (like stocks).
if iraq would of went to rubels (russina money) it would not of made a difference... because the russian currency is not even close to being strong enough to compete with the Dollar... but wait, no money is strong enough to compete... untill the Euro came along.
this war on the surface is freeing iraqi people and getting rid of saddam. but as with all wars, its really about money. there is more then one reason for it starting and one of them is to keep the Dollar on top as the global standard.
look at how oil is traded globally.
look at the 'money' thats in the treasury of the allies.
look at the 'money' thats in the treasury of the strongest opponents.
we have wanted saddam out for a while, but he was only a big thorn untill he changed the trading medium. then he became the seed that could topple the American Dollar... and he is gone. If you think this is wrong, so be it. if you think America will sit back and let it happen bacause the UN says not to do it, your fooling yourself. besides, the UN has other issues, the big one being that it wants to keep the power in Europe, and thats fine, untill it starts to cost us.
