Bushco has still been actively attempting to get Iran to sign the same agreement as the Saudis. U.S. Dollars only as payment for oil. This is
the same agreement that was offered to Iraq, and turned down repeatedly,
prior to the decision to attack. This is the only way that the administration knows how to keep the dollar strong and the U.S. out of
total bankruptcy.

Now that Iran has officially declared that only the Euro will be accepted for payment, we are seeing that Iran is a threat much as Iraq was. Our only hope to avoid war is that the war on Iraq (and Afghanistan) has cost much more than originally expected, in terms of both money and soldiers.

Thank you Kathleen. It is so important that the whole picture be seen in
order to understand what is really happening. It is about oil, but even more important, it is about our inability to compete in the global market
and our inability to keep our economy strong without relying on the leverage of the major oil producing nations.
