The low interest rates make the dollar weaker, and I think we will also find this was a way to fight the war on terror. Seriously.
We know terrorists add counterfeit money to the US money supply (that is why the $20 changed a few years back). By lowering the currency (weak dollar) that tactic is no longer effective for crippling the US economy.
In addition if we knew most terrorist funds were in US dollars, and those dollars are worth less, they cannot buy as many supplies to fight us in Iraq and Afghanistan.
We won't know this for sure for another 20 years or so.
