If we lose the financial war with the EU we will suffer heavy losses. So we had to be strong in the middle east region and keep them investing in the American dollar. Interesting theory... just a shame we all had to wade through so much of your rhetorical "dirt", in order to find a few "diamonds".. I would agree that some may have perceived a certain threat of the Euro against the US dollar.. And look what has happened, the dollar has declined and the Euro risen astronomically, almost to intial highs since being unveiled.. But who's economy does that hurt more Sidney? The US consumer economy, or the European and Asian exporting economies?? Which economies have double digit unemployment? Which economies have structural flaws in their financial markets, which markedly decrease the profit potential for the global investor? And then, as you stated, who has the most powerful military, been attacked, and is prowling the globe looking for whoever hit him with that sucker punch back on 9/11.. The Saudi terrorist connection card can be played by the US anytime. If the Saudi's have a connection to the 9-11 attacks the American people would say go get them. Another interesting theory... And quite plausible, since we really have more to gain by keeping the Persian Gulf politically divided and balanced between two or more "major" regional players, than seeing any one of them dominate the rest. But it will be interesting to see how much pressure falls upon Bush to deal with the Saudis in demanding that those who are alleged to have been supporters of the 9/11 attackers are brought to justice. I also want to find out who was short-selling all of those airline and re-insurance stocks immediately prior to 9/11.. Hawk
