Here's a tidbit that will rile you Searle. Can beggars be choosers?

"Even the Israelis want out of the dollar. On Sept. 21, The Israeli government asked that U.S. foreign aid be paid in euros, not dollars.

On Sept. 21, Israeli foreign minister Tzipi Livni asked Secretary Rice for U.S. foreign aid to be paid in euros, not dollars. "In the spirit of Yom Kippur,” Secretary Rice responded at the time, “the United States will not hold Israel to any agreements obligating them to accept dollars as payment for their foreign aid. We need to place our Israeli obligations at the top of our national priority list. Israel should not suffer any inconvenience due to currency fluctuations.

You would think that someone in the U.S. government would begin to take notice of currency “inconveniences” suffered by the citizens of the nation, rather than just lying about it to the press."
