This good news story from the BBC on the deline of the U.S. dollar.

Nicolas Sarkozy of France said he and his colleagues were unanimous in their worry that the decline of the dollar would hit Europe's economies by eating into their exports

Sounds good to me.

Lacking cheap under-the-counter smuggled oil from Iraq and the end to billions from construction contracts for palaces and grandiose unneeded airports while the Iraqi people were held captive by a madman and his nutcase sons, poor France and Germany are now suffering horribly. Added to that, the terorists they have cheerfully funded for decades and allowed to immigrate are suddenly not so friendly, and you have the makings of one giant European headache.
