It may indicate that your assumptions (on this issue) are correct, :-)))
(I made "zero" on that :-))) )
However, take a look at the Middle-East region.
This whole area is more-than worth to invest, while Iraq is "the heart" of such enterprise.
All the markets established and/or developed in that whole region bring U.S. profits, and all the transactions will be made in U.S. dollars, only (!), including the most "precious" gas and oil. It brings more than trillions, back. The time is a factor.
Just imagine, that you need to build up a state from the scratch. There is nothing in there.
Can you imagine that money ? especially with trades for oil or gas ? More over, almost all the surrounding states would become affected, that - most likely, with potential political changes wihin them - add "some extra" to your economy.
Markets - and markets, again, give people jobs. Iraq IS a free-and-empty market, not to mention the whole area around.
In case of U.S. dollar, many people talk about morality, ethics, ect.
Have you ever bothered to think about others, guys ?
France and Germany planned that move for a decade (at least), to break U.S. dollar. They were fully aware (from the begining) of the consequences on establishing "euro", in order to "dump" U.S. dollar. Those countries are being called "U.S.'s friends" :-)))
These "gentlemen" are extremely sensitive on issues like : morality, ethics, ect. :-)))
I do not know whether it was (the originally) F. Mitterand's idea, but J. Chirac's for sure, since he upheld and approved that enterprise. Who stands behind Chirac's back, in a shadow ?
Maybe Bush's "colleagues", that - somehow, got "upset" (over something), and want a "revenge" to pay Bush back, and care for nothing but to pay Bush as hard as they can ?
Frictions, between "good-old friends" ?
That is why France and Germany work hard to get and control markets in post-communists countries.
It is clear, that for a along time Chirac has been familliar on these plans to bring U.S. dollar on its knees. Why ? Money, only ? I do not think so.
