And it is total bullshit, your statement that the dollar has been falling since the introduction of the euro. All it takes is a simple line graph to prove that you're full of shit.

Also, as far as oil is concerned, the idiots in Iran are the ONLY people who have ever publicly mentioned trading oil for euros, and that's only because they hate the U.S., it has nothing to do with the dollar's value relative to other currencies
Go post the graph and prove me wrong, becoming a rival to the dollar for oil trading is much more of a financial incentive than the bullshit "easier for EU nations to trade amongst themselves" crap that was made public.
