re: especially with our economic problems at home
that is my area of expertise so lets for a sec forget about everything else but economy:
the worst possible case - it would cost US $200 bil or about 4 times the estimate
now lets put it in perspective:
1) WTC tragedy has cost us about $2 trillion so far and probably as high as 5 trillion in PV.
2) US pays about $305 billion to UN with anything but negative results
3) our GNP is at around $10T
4) the war is like to stabilize economy even if it would have some short term negative effects on the market

from economic stand point, imho:
1) we can not afford another 9/11
2) we can not afford UN
3) we can not afford not to go to war

as far traditional allies, germany was never one and france was only a parasite
