That's a good summary ... and the British are helping them ...
[By not joining the Euro, but also by stating they would help Bush to invade Irak with or without the UN, and before consulting the other EU-members]
Nevertheless, I would like the British to come on board, we will all benifit.
They will probably do as soon as they'll understand their interest is not to act as an american colony...

I've heard that in Russia, where the usual reserve-currency has been the almighty buck, the euro is used more and more (at least in the westernmost parts).
In the past, I've seen an article that says there are more US Dollars in use outside the USA than inside. Would that become the same for our Euro too for the futur?
Than, we should promote our site outside the EU more .

It's true, for the dollar... And these dollars are called "eurodollars" (true!!).
If one day all these eurodollars came back to the US, they would know an huuuuuge inflation!!!
For the euro... look the list of the countries. There are already euros used in America, Asia...
Something would be interesting for the intersting hits list: put a flag for the two last countries it has been used in... For the moment, I think it a bit boring to open each link...

Maybe that's the reason the USD is doing not so good at the moment.

So, let's all exchange Dollars for Euro's .
Many already did so indirectly by selling Stock on the Wall Street ... There is a very strong correlation between the stock indexes and the dollar. If trust would be regained in the American Economy, stock prices would rise and so would the dollar ... All this Iraq blabla is diverting attention from the real issues.
What is also true of course is that incertainty is killing the stock exchange, so what I read yesterday is also partly true ... if the invasion is a fact, part of the incertainty is gone (the date), and may put a stop to the falling stock prices .... That is the sick thing about our system ... How it all links together can lead to very frightening conclusions

Yes, but in another hand, nobody knows (yet) how long the war (if there is a war) will take place... And if the war is long, it's very bad for the american economy.
I have watched GW Bush yesterday night. All the planet wants a proof to allow him to do his war, but I doubt there is any proof...

I have read that the value of the euro the experts estimate is 1,20$ for 1 € at the end of the year... !
What do you think about the new strength of the european money?
The euro is going to be overvaluated at this rate. I remember a story from Finnish business magazine telling that 1,11 $ for 1 € is the point where it really starts to hurt exporting.
