''Simply
put, the dollar has for several decades been positioned as the only
way for an industrialized country to pay OPEC for oil. No matter
who you were, you had to buy American dollars and then send those
dollars to OPEC, who would then use the money to buy American debt,
or American weapons.
It
was the perfect set-up. Greenspan printed worthless dollars, and
gave them to people who gave us free gasoline, and free TV sets,
and free wicker furniture. The game changed, however, when the Euro
was introduced. Now, many oil-producing nations are accepting the
Euro instead of the dollar. Saddam loves the Euro.
This
new competition from the Euro makes Uncle Sam very angry. So Uncle
Sam came up with a plan; he sent a secret message to all the Arabs:
You
will only accept American Dollars, or we will kill you.''
