No need. They just have to untie the price of oil from dollar bills and tie it to Euros. That's all it takes. Anyway, commerce is a matter of trust. USA not paying would be a major trust crisis. Besides USA owes some of this money to the Bush's and Cheney's of the world (bonds), so I don't think the govt will dare. > Stephen Russell > DBA / .Net Developer > > Memphis TN 38115 > 901.246-0159 > > "Our scientific power has outrun our spiritual power.
