I just need to state unequivically I agree with most of the post. But I also believe we entered this Iraq war as a direct result of Iraq's moves toward using the Euro as the money standard for the purchase of their oil back in 2000. If that were to become reality our banking system would suffer severely. Would the price of oil rise if we exit Iraq and they establish relations with Iran and Syria on a diplomatic front? I don't believe so. I think the whole point of this excersize was to set the price point we are at now and oil will remain at this level; rising only as a result of inflationary pressure.
I may be wrong; who knows? But thats my gut feeling.
