Militia Man What I believe is going on... they're throwing two stones out in the water in a massive way and it's going to have a rippling effect around the world...Iraq we feel is a linchpin that's going to stimulate the economy...trading with other currencies, cross-border payments, all those things are happening right in front of our eyes...history is basically going to be written about this because Iraq is going to be very very wealthy. They could write this in tablets of gold. I really do believe that...
