rhys 0 #1 May 19, 2005 while i was away on holiday in thailand. i had a very interesting conversation with a charechter from argentina. he was a very onto it person who is in his last year of his doctorate. our conversation led on to his belief of why the u.s. attacked iraq (this time) when they did. he believed it was because......... don't all shoot me at the same time. .......... saddam hussain started trading 'oil' in euros. if oil is to be traded in euros then the u.s. fails to be the controller(of the planets most traded commodity) and is on the back foot because the euro is worth more than the u.s. dollar. he then said that venesuela has just started trading oil in euros and will be attacked by the u.s. in three months or less. i guess we'll see what happens. this make a whole lot of sense to me. what do you reckon?"When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kelpdiver 2 #4 May 19, 2005 Your fellow is playing with a short deck. The last three presidents were looking for a way to knock off Saddam and the events in 2001 gave the opening. Under UN sanctions, Iraq couldn't sell very much oil, not enough to make a significant matter. Venezuela will be fine. We don't have the manpower even if we wanted to.

mr2mk1g 10 #5 May 20, 2005 I'll make a 50 Pound bet that it doesn't happen.... On the other hand do not underestimate the US need for oil to continue being traded in $$$. It has a massive impact on your economy and you would see frightening changes if OPEC suddenly adopted a different currency. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A little kick ass in the US House of Representitive is however needed so we can produce our own oil. Hell all this crying starting to get me all emotional, don't think I can continue this thread.
