Iran is said to be considering a flight to the euro as well. Mehdi Varzi, director of research at Dresdner Kleinwort Benson, said, "Maybe Iran has reached the same conclusion as Iraq: that at this point there's only one place the euro can go."

George, I think there is no question that the Turks murdered the Armenians and that it wasn't war. It is also true that the current secular government has replaced the former religious governments that were responsible for the genocide. To blame the current government would send the wrong message at this time. Regarding oil however, what would be the Sadam Oil card that people are talking about. How much could he raise oil prices? How much could he lower them?
