Replying to [mama bebe]:
Currency support has both economic and political links.
With the growing involvement of the United States over the Middle-east countries playing the role of International Policeman, or liberator of human rights deprived individuals, first with justification in Afghanistan and later against the wishes of many European countries in Iran, the US Dollar loses its popularity.
Rich investors from the oil rich countries of the Middle-east seek to put their money into the EURO, a new comer to the world currencies and a common currency used by the countries in the European Union.
My opinion is for the future and if the Iraninan nuclear crisis is not solved, worsen by the Palestinian conflict, the US Dollar will further decline and this runs reciprocally with the price of Crude Oil. My bet will be for the EURO.
