Quite interesting that Iraq had started trading in Euros creating a 17% rise in the Euro. If America hadnt gone to war many more countries may have gone over resulting in an even worse dollar situation than we now have.
People can go on about how much the war has cost, the bottom line is this, you have to pay the army if they are at home or at war so the actuall costs arent as much as people think.
