Chalmers Johnson is spot on. Perhaps this will enlighten some people a little on what the war on terrorism is really about.
For the record Saddam Hussein was switching from the dollar to the Euro and this is exactly what Iran is attempting to do as well. Iran and other oil producing nations are contributing to the end of the dollar hegemony not only because the dollar is seeking it's true value but because they know this will speed the U.S. on it's way to insignificance.
Even sounds like Ron Paul has underestimated what we spend on maintaining the Empire.
