Question:  “Many countries have a horrible exchange rate and business still work with them and then exchange. So why would this be any different for Iraq?”  When I traveled to say Brazil and got more than 3 Reais at the border crossing for $1, and traveled more, boy I felt American strength.  Trade is likewise.  When I traveled to England, though this was years ago, I shelled out, $2.40/British Pound Sterling.  It spent like dollars, not going as far as the cost of exchange. Couldn’t feel strong until I got home to some more cheap a$$ dollars.  Trade is likewise.  All this points to Iraq needing to be close to a dollar, to get any global respect.
