    For a long time the Arab world has been threatening to start charging Euro's instead of dollars for oil. That would a fairly large smack in the mouth for the US.

    Iran is not in the arab world though.

    But seriously, show of Hands: Who would support a UN Peacekeeping/Overthrow invasion of Iran?

    Honestly, this is your solution to everything.

    Iran - Invade and Overthrow Ahmadinejad
    Iraq - Invade and Overthrow Saddam
    No milk in the fridge - Invade and Overthrow dairy farms
    Cold weather - Invade and Overthrow Mother Nature.


    honestly..

    Ahmadinajad will reveal what his country's top scientists have been building in secret bunkers: an affordable mass-producible automobile powered by Allah and the prayers of the faithful, breaking the OPEC oil monopoly and bringing about the downfall of corporate America, western civilization and our primitive notions of modesty.

    Didn't Col Gadaffi do that?

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/440161.stm

    Interestingly, his 'Libyan Rocket' was also announced on the 30th anniversary of the Libyan revolution...erm.. coup.

    Humble chap, Gadaffi. He never promoted himself, so as a result (to make sure he's never outranked), the Libyan Army has no general officers.

    NTM

    The iranians do not use the dollar at all as of late 2007 for all their oil based exports.

    The Iranian oil bourse currently accepts all major currencies, so maybe they want to apply the same anything but the dollar trading system there?

    The US wouldn't be able to get out of economic busts by printing money then.

    Maybe they will announce that Persian has overtaken English as the most common language in the blogosphere ?


    They could launch a rat called Helmz 1 into space.


    But they did that already
