dont give your wealth to the US

when will the arabs realise that all they have to do is stop selling their oil for dollar$ and they will hurt america more than even nuking them could!

Its a very powerful tactic and will effectively turn the dollar into toilet paper. And now for the first time in history they have an alternate currency to the $$ in the Euro.

By quoting and selling their oil exclusively in dollar$ they are helping the USA economy and its military etc.
But since the Euro has come into operation they have the power to stop the US dead without any violence.

In 2000 Sadam changed over to selling oil for Euros and will not accept dollars. He also changed 10 billion dollars Iraq had the bank into Euros and made a nice profit for himself since the Euro is getting stronger.

OPEC could do this and so could Chavez. Norway and the UK could adopt the same policy too. Suddenly there would be loads of dollars that noone wants and the currency and the US economy would crash. And they certainly couldnt afford to send an army to Iraq and drop bombs that cost half a million each.

Talk about spending power over fire power!

Shazam!
