Exactly. Wars of this kind would eventually cause inflation, among other terrible things. As long as 95% of this country agree Peace beats War, we are OK. The more people that say spending money we don't have, existing in an envirnment where bomb scares close down major airports for 24 hours, where a scare causes panic in grand central station (Personally was there for that yesterday), and other such terrible things is GOOD, the more I will worry. Right now of course the above is worst case. Just don't think people should whistle past the graveyard.

<< War's effects are not positive for an economy, if the home country is attacked and devastated >> Absolutely correct. While this attack was located in our country, it's basically the first of it's kind. The war we are about to begin is a war to prevent this type of thing from happening again. You will not see our country "devastated". The actions we are about to take will make sure of that. Possibly there will be terrorist activities in the US, I grant you that. But, we are capable of punishing the terrorists so thoroughly that the chance of them inflicting harm here in the US is about to dramatically decrease. IMO, Dave
