I do not need to debate him.
One either accepts logical arguments or not.
There is simply no way (barring out and out stupidity on behalf of Bush - which of course can not be completely ruled out given how stupid he is), that we went to war over a pricing unit.

Now, it is entirely possible we went to war over oil, but that is completely different than what oil is priced in.

If one thinks of gold as money, then the demand for money (hoarding money) is a given in deflationary times.

Sometimes gold acts like money and sometimes like a commodity.
Gold also does well in times of extreme stress.

Put all of that together and you tell me.
Gold does worst in disinflationary times which is when the stock market does best.
