You are your own source? What a joke! You add a whole new meaning to the
term 'peer review'. If you honestly think that you can do research by
using yourself as your own source, then you will NEVER be taken seriously.

And as to you not being ignorant of economics and geopolitics, consider
the 'OPEC' entry in www.wikipedia.com. Explain this phrase and how it
squares with your knowledge:

"Since worldwide oil sales are denominated in U.S. dollars"

First sentence, second paragragh. You claim that petrodollars is not
exclusive WRT OPEC sales. Admit that you are wrong!

: >My source has written several books.

: Many loons write books. One does not have to know what one is talking
: about to write books.

Yes, Ann Coulter comes to mind. Well, when ones DOES know what one is
talking about, they use references other than themselves.
