Uhh, a coupe of points, host:

1. What leads you to believe that US currency will become worthless? I know the dollar has slipped quite a bit in the recent past in comparison with the Euro, but it was hardly worth getting worked up about.

2. Christians aren't the only ones in America who use oil. To the best of my knowledge, even American Jews burn gasoline in their cars and not the muslim baby blood that is so often assumed to fill the tanks. Come to think of it, American Muslims, as the fastest-growing religious group in the United States, are probably the fastest-growing group of oil consumers, as well. It seems the Mohammedistas thirst for oil will never be satisfied!

3. The United States is not going to invade Norway. Or Iran. Or any other country in the next, say, ten years. Bush will be long gone before the next invasion could even conceivably occur.

4. While I appreciate and respect your right to express your opinions in this forum, I feel that providing a series of long quotations from disparate news sources and weakly grasping at links between them is not the most effective way to foster stimulating debate.
