Euros VS Dollars?

=========================================
Original Essay January 2003

Although completely unreported by the U.S. media and government, the
answer to the Iraq enigma is simple yet shocking -- it is in large part
an oil currency war. One of the core reasons for this upcoming war is
this administration's goal of preventing further Organization of the
Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) momentum towards the euro as an oil
transaction currency standard.

Well, it didn't work. Looks like the euro IS becoming the standard for
oil transactions (and Brazilian fashion models!).
