Euros for oil and a clear and present danger.

I’m a little puzzled, there’s a real gray area when it comes to the reasons of why the US attacked Iraq, it’s been a game of smoke and mirrors and I still think it is. Before the US attacked Iraq Saddam was changing his policy for selling oil in US dollars, which is the world standard, to selling oil for euros. The danger of an oil pact country switching euros for oil would impact the world banks money reserves which are held in US dollars and directly effect the US economy negatively.

From what I’ve been able to ascertain, this would be tantamount to an act of war against the US. This is the one thing that seems to have been totally missed by the US media. Iraq was most probably attacked because Saddam was beginning to sell oil in euros. I think the US went in and attacked Iraq to send a clear message to the rest of the Oil pact that there would be dire consequences for anyone selling oil for euros.

Venezuela made noises about selling oil for euros not to long ago the US sent down war ships and parked them off the coast as a clear warning to Hugo Chavez. Iran earlier this year started making noise about selling oil for euros and look what’s happened since, with the increase of the rhetoric between the US and Iran and what I’ve heard as of last week there is a consensus in Iran to go ahead with that plan to selling oil for euros. If that happens the US will attack Iran. If Iran starts selling oil for euros maybe, there's some chatter fromVenezuela as well to follow suit, that’s not public knowledge yet, there has been an increase in rhetoric between Venezuela and the US in recent days.

The nuclear chatter that we hear about Iran right now has parallels to the way we were frightened with the WMDs in Iraq. I can’t help thinking that all you have to do is find a foreign leader's Achilles heal and exploit it i.e. Saddam was not forth coming about WMDs because of ego not because he had any, so it became a matter of pride to defy the US and made it easy for the US to exploit this weakness. To Iran s right to have nuclear energy today, being the right of a free country, which could also become a matter of pride for it’s leader. Play it up with false truths to the world, get a couple of European countries on side or not, then go to war, then you can apologize for it later and say the country you just invaded is better off.

If oil is sold for euros, I think there's a very real chance of the collapse of the American dollar and economy and, perhaps a global economic crash as well.

I believe that could be seen as a clear and present danger.

The real reason for war.

So what’s next.
