Asians, Europeans and other non-Americans should not have to buy USD in order to pay for oil.

The government doesn't want oil to be traded in any currency because America super wealth relies on both cheap oil and the dollar as world's reserve currency. The Federal Reserve makes a killing by selling USD (99 cent profit on the dollar) to foreign suckers.

It's a post WW2 legacy enforced by the US Army in the Middle East.
