Iraq Reminder

i am in the UEA this week and have heard many different stories...much different than what is on CNN or american TV. the one that stood out the most to me may just be a conspiracy theory, but possibly very real.
I heard that suddam was working on a deal to sell all his oil in euros only, not dollars. now, I don't know how it is sold now, but does anyone know the implications if such a thing where to happen. what would happen to the value of the dollar, the price of oil in dollars, and perhaps the necessity to exchange a cash dollar for a cash euro? Is it possible that america would have to take cash, convert it to euros, and then buy oil...if so, that takes alot of cash out of the economy...which could be a bad thing. so they say that is one reason bush went to war...but who knows. even still, that also sounds like a good idea, but who knows where this guy got his info. just another conspiracy, ha ha

Thats not enough of a reason though. If massgraves is your motivation then are several countries in Africa we should have gone to before Iraq.
Werd, if we were invading countries because of sour dictatorships and mass graves, Iraq would have been alot farther down the list. If Bush would have just told us that we have to destroy iraqs regime because he was not cooperating and would destroy our economy, then i would have been alot less opposed. His string of bull**** was insulting, and as a result we have lost alot of good soldiers for what is still being handed to us as a lie, and oh darn, our economy went to **** anyway.
