I suppose it would be different if they created a decision tree before creating policy. Or considered "worst case scenarios" something that never seems to penetrate the rose colored glasses of capitalism.<BR/>The shift to the Euro is just one of the multiple reasons action was taken against Iraq. Another is the buffer string of bases built to control the area and protect against future rescource wars. While the shift to the Euro from the dollar had the potential to cause economic worldwide catastrophy it was still controllable.<BR/>Mainly any action serves multiple purposes. The human mind can only handle about 125 interactions. Thus the Keneday assassination includes Cuba, the Mob, The CIA, the FBI, and a lone gunman. To follow a single lead refutes the others. To follow all is midnnumbing. But that is the way it is designed to purposely obfuscate.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10465909.post-1125168915648408262005-08-27T13:55:00.000-05:002005-08-27T13:55:00.000-05:00I've read the Euro/dollar and Saddam theory but I ...I've read the Euro/dollar and Saddam theory but I don't really buy it. The power brokers will use whatever money system is their preference and benefit. Iraq, nor Iran, could change the money system w/o the brokers.<BR/><BR/>Israel selling weapons to China, along with transfer of technology, is not news, they've done so since at least the early 1980s. <BR/><BR/>Everyone has to be armed to the teeth in order to play nations off against one another, and the profit of course. The advantage is shifted by the "glommers" as the markets they manipulate expand and shrink or collapse. Politicians aren't myopic; just promiscuous.Kate-Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02097300904370192818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10465909.post-1125146020346344492005-08-27T07:33:00.000-05:002005-08-27T07:33:00.000-05:00The Israel tricked the US argument is far too simp...The Israel tricked the US argument is far too simplistic. Those in power do things for multiple reasons. For example Iraq also intended to switch from the dollar to the Euro for oil transactions. Something Iran is doing as well.<BR/>Israel does tend to glom onto US positions that benefit itself then quickly discard them when their advantage shifts. Notice the weapons sales to China.<BR/>Really Israel using the US is a single reason and not the prime motivatorAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
