I am an American 1st and foremost but our military will follow the Commander in Chief. Iran is a just below Turkmenistan in terms of GDP. at less than $8,000 per capita which places it at 74th out of 181 countries in the IMF. Another possible reason for the Iranians switching to the Euro is the informal pressure the US Government has placed on many banks to stop or scale back their business with Iran. Goldman Sachs banker-turned-Treasury Secretary, Hank Paulson, has been making presentations on Wall Street in an attempt to snip the ties between rogue nations and global financial markets. To date dozens of banks have stopped or scaled back their business with Iran and other "rogue states" like North Korea. As for taking financial advice from a Blog that recommends "Buy more Bling", I would recommend putting your resources into something that is not taken from you until you die, and education.

I am a Blackman 1st and foremost but our military will put our country in a very dangerous situation. Iran's wealth and global positioning is deep and Iran can truly cause more than TERROR.
