burnuniteternally follow the money! dammit! Here's an interesting article from August about Iran's oil bourse. Ah yes, I forgot, follow the money! Follow the money! Say it with me people! Guess the author's thesis!
"Saddam set himself implacably against the American Unified Monolithic Prosperity Sphere by..."
a) plotting to kill GW's dad; b) hiding a wmd program; c) demanding euros instead of dollars in 2000. BINGO! The answer is C as in CLUSTERFUCK. And in fact we transitioned Iraqi oil back to dollars this last summer. One of the benefits of being an occupying empire is that you can insert your face on the coins and demand that things be rendered unto Caesar.
Apparently Iran has plans to do a similar thing except, you know, worse. "Tehran's objective constitutes an obvious encroachment on dollar supremacy in the crucial international oil market." Which is basically saying Iran does have a weapon of mass destruction and it's called the petroeuro, which is shaping into a kind of macroeconomic nuke. Silent weapons for quiet wars, man.
