DAMASCUS (Reuters) - Syria has switched all of the state's foreign currency transactions to euros from dollars amid a political confrontation with the United States, the head of state-owned Commercial Bank of Syria said on Monday. Reuters
Sounds like Bashar and his Baath party are feeling danger is getting closer and closer, and it looks like Bashar finds Europe a bit much safer for his almost-drowning economy. Well Bashar, I think you have to be good to your new friends, and pray that they will not ask you for an explanation or an apology about the Danish and Norwegian embassies burnt down days ago. The question is, can the Euro really help you in a confrontation with the United States?? I think this is just another mambo-jumbo world you are dreaming of.
