Generally Presidents send the Secretary of State on trips to nations where they are not liked and will not be well received, especially to places right now like Afghanistan, India, and Pakistan!  So why is Mr. Bush himself going there?  I have a theory.  On March 20th the Iranians are going to open an oil brouse (exchange) in Teheran where countries will be able to trade oil in euros instead of dollars.  This will be a direct slap in the face to the U.S. since globally oil has always been exchanged in dollars.  Right before the U.S. moved against Iraq, Saddam began to take euros for his oil--that is quite an interesting fact, is it not?!  When the Iranians open this oil exchange, international oil traders and investors may drop their dollars in favor of the euro, and that will not be good for the U.S. since foreigners hold about 49% of the U.S. debt!  My guess is the reason that Mr. Bush himself is going to these countries (all close to Iran) is that he is preparing their leaders in direct talks with them about what the U.S. will be doing in response to this Iranian oil exchange "slap in the face" to the U.S.  It appears that perhaps the U.S. is about to take some type of significant action, which may also be related to Iranian nuclear facilities coming on line soon!  And how about that port deal with the United Arab Emirates?  Perhaps a trade so that the U.S. can use U.A.E. ground facilities for a strike against Iran?
 
All of this is most fascinating since we are approaching the spring Jewish feasts.  Perhaps the Rapture may be nearer than we think?  In late January and early February for three Friday mornings in a row at exactly the same time (about 5:50 AM) I had three different dreams about the Rapture!
