If you are going to quote from an article to make your point, that is all well and good, but it is appropriate to mark it in quotations and give the source.
"Why is the United States determined to control Iran? In order to answer that question we must understand just a little about economics. In 1932, President Franklin Roosevelt decoupled the dollar from gold, but gold was still being paid to other countries as they redeemed U.S. dollars. During 1970-1971, the United States was no longer able to pay other governments with gold, and the nations of the world were stuck with continually inflating U.S. dollars. In order to maintain global demand for the U.S. dollar, the U.S. Government made a 1972-73 arrangement with Saudi Arabia to support the House of Saud if they, Saudi Arabia and all of the OPEC, the oil producing nations, would accept only U.S. dollars for payment of oil. Now all of the oil-hungry nations of the world were forced to clamor for the ever-inflating U.S. dollar since it was the only means by which they could purchase that commodity. This established the strength of the dollar as it was now backed in a defacto sense by oil."
Holy plagiarism Batman! That looks exactly like your post # 262.
In fact it's taken directly from http://www.lasttrumpetministries.org/2006/March2006.html
