why did the USA change Iraq trade currency from Euro to Dollars, why did they decentralise Iraqi Oil? Not many people know, but Saddam changed his trade currency from the dollar to Euro in 2002. Straight after the evil invasion, America changed it back to the dollar, they also made Iraqs oil public, so that US coporations could basically control it. Spell Check; its a long term plan. Firstly its the top dogs that profit, than over time it will filter down to the general public. Remember the increase in oil prices is partly a ploy to show that oil had nothing to do with the barbarik invasion, massacre and plunder of Iraq.
