Hijacking this comment because stuguy makes a good point. In case some of you don't know, what he refers to as the petrodollar is more commonly called the eurodollar and it's the basis for the LIBOR rate, which about 90% of floating rate debt (e.g. mortgages, loans, credit cards) float on top of. Our economy is based on the fact that other countries have to hold dollars in reserve to buy oil. That's why we do shit like this.

Our economy will collapse without wars like these to protect the petrol dollar. I dont support it but there is no other alternative that doesnt lead to collapse - all thanks to the Federal Reserve system which dug the hole we are in right now.
