Oil is part of the economic crisis. In the 70's OPEC agreed to sell oil only on the dollar causing countries to have to hoard our dollars. When Saddam started selling on the Euro the dollar took a dive and since countries no longer need the dollar it made no sense to hold onto them while the value was dropping. Countries have been diversifying away from the dollar ever since.
dont be so sure, the arab leaders are way more of a threat to muslims than bush or israel could ever be. we have weasels and traitors for leaders in all muslim countries.
Peace to all..Bush should sort the American economic crisis than targeting Iran!!Or is it the oil that is so attractive and alluring?Is Iraq attack not enough?Now Bush looks even more stupid to the Arabs AND Allah Akbar that the arabs for once won't listen to his stupid proposition..
Bush was literally "saber shaking."

Excellent analysis on Al-Jazeera, as always. The sceptical approach adopted is very necessary and very welcome.
