The article looks like planted diversion. The dollar started crashing when Saddam started pricing oil in Euros, it crashed further when the Russian did the same, it contiunes to crash now that Iran is no longer accepting dollars.

Should read: Opec Wages Jihad on Dollar

man, i have been called many things over the years, but “planted diversion??”. i suggest you look at this Dollar Index chart from 1972 at http://www.chartsrus.com/chart.php?image=http://www.sharelynx.com/chartstemp/free/chartindCRUvoi.php?ticker=FUTDX
You will notice two important points of reference: jan 2002 and jan 2006 as pivot points as we say in technical charting analysis, for the dollar decline. as for saddam, that occurred in 2000 and the dollar appreciated 20% after that.
But if conspiracy theories are of interest, this one will appeal. www.endtimeprophecy.net/EPN-1/Articles/Articles-Poli/eurowar2.html
