Right now even when Saudis agreed to increase production - the oil prices rose instead of falling - Iran jumped up and said "See we told you so - it is the Dollar that is the culprit not oil". They've already dumped trading in the dollar.

Itll just cost us more when we have to go to great lengths to fight our enemies, now that they do not have us on their border watching them, and we have no bases to extend our reach. Besides, national security spending is a minority of our budget. If you really want to strengthen the economy and the dollar, and reduce gas prices, cut govt services, reduce taxes. This will give people more of their own money to innovate.
