    Do these groups own significant dollar assets? How can they have a direct effect?

    Yes, we are spending way beyond our means in the middle east but that is our choice not theirs.

      "How can they have a direct effect?"

      If they (terrorists) have ties to heads of state (which most do), those countries can lobby our government. It's pretty insidious; but worst of all, those countries hire former members of congress to lobby on their behalf!

        "Mujahideen Muslim terrorists may be behind the sinking American dollar as part of a campaign to cripple the American economy, the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) reported...."

        And this could very well be true. Several countries have actuallly been known to sponsor counterfeiting of our currency to cause economic ills to us.

        But Mr. Bush needs no further help in causing further devaluation of the dollar and more economic chaos here and abroad. All he needs to do is give even MORE tax cuts to the elite 1% of America's super rich, spend even more BORROWED from the national debt money attempting to force democracy on a country that doesn't seem to want it, export more jobs, oppose ANY program that benefits middle and lower class American workers as "entitlements" while continuing to spend billions in corporate welfare.

        Tell the Mujahadeen thanks, but Dumbya doesn't need their help. Mission Accomplished

          The truth is, 86% of all federal income taxes are paid by the top 25% of income earners. The top 50%, pay 97%!

          from the GBO

          Buying off former (and perhaps even current politicians) is exactly how terrorists influence our government, and can affect the value of the dollar.

          And some ex-presidents like Jimmy Carter also come to mind...

          Carter accepted a very large donation to the Carter center from the very same Saudi prince from whom Rudy Guliani rejected and returned a $10 million donation. See: http://archives.cnn.com/2001/US/10/11/rec.giuli...

          Carter is an example of a former US politician who has been bought and paid for by Arab oil money...

          Wouldn't they be able to have an impact by buying US bonds or futures? There's no doubt that they are cash rich.
