What will happen if French or German governments finally join the USA and support an invasion of Iraq and they suffer a large scale terrorist attack in retribution?

Will they blame the USA? Or will they realize that the threat is real and occupying Iraq is the best place to start draining the swamp after Afghanistan?

I think the workers of Germany, France and to a lesser degree the USA have plenty to worry about and it has little to do with any boycott of each others products. If white collar jobs can be exported now to Asia just like manufacturing jobs how are the highest paid workers going to compete against multilingual Asians willing to work for 5% of our salary?
