"Iran is also planning to switch to the Euro as the underlying currency for oil exchange when it opens its own petroleum bourse this year. The success of such a venture carries ominous consequences for the U.S. in its wake. If the dollar loses its hold on the petroleum markets, the hidden financial weakness and fiscal irresponsibility of the U.S. government, as well as the average American citizen, may suddenly be dangerously exposed.
