Get your facts first, and then you can distort them as much as you please Mark TwainWar is good for business only because it moves your salary into the hands of companies - kind of "forcing you to buy home made goods". Beyond than that, it's economic suicide.

War might be good for certain parts of industry, but in the long term its bad. a $20,000,000 aircraft shot down is scrap at best. Thats a lot of money taken out of the economy. The tigress is here :-D

Actually, it requires another $20,000,000 to be spent. A military plane itself is useless to the economy (ie. doesn't produce anything), building one, however is great. Sending troops overseas does hurt though. 250,000 people are not spending money at home, not to mention the increase in pay due to active duty.

Couldn't they have easily got the oil last time? I don't buy the 'it's all about oil' line. Davy Blog for Software Testing, Bugs, Quality, Security and Stability - www.latedecember.com
News From Angus, Scotland - The Angus BlogNeither do I. They already get 56% of Iraqi oil. Now why would they want more? ;-)

The revival of the economy is about spending. A war increases government spending causing a lot of short-term jobs, i guess. A plane going down needs a new one to be built and the defense contractors have more work. My article on a reference-counted smart pointer that supports polymorphic objects and raw pointers

Saddam Hussein has 48 hours to leave the country with his family. What if...
... he would decide to so and leave the command to the UNO to install a temporary gouvernement and democratic elections?
This would be the worst thing that could happen to president Bush and the US. Why? - He would not have to right to intrude into the Iraq, the US-army would have to go back home. - Iraq would keep his weapons and continue hiding them, supposed they really have some, which is not proved at all. - Those US-companies which prepare themselves to get down to Iraq after the war to build up the country and make a lot of money would loose those really interesting jobs. - Bush would have to get back to his office to think it over again and find another way to get to the oil reserves in Iraq. ... it seems like the US need this war to get its economy rolling again. Am I dreaming or is the world going up side down?Bush wants Saddam out. period. If he doesn't have to send troops into Iraq to do it, all the better. The US has been arguing with nations since early 90's about doing this. Clinton wanted to go in too, but didn't because he was afraid of losing respect in the global community. Well, actually he did bomb for 4 days in '98, well that's different right... If Saddam leaves, US goes in to help restructure, along with many other countries. Without outside help the country will fall into anarchy. People who have no experience in managing a country will find it a difficult task to do without outside help, so I imagine the new government will welcome some advice. Whether or not Iraq keeps weapons once Saddam influence is gone, is almost irrelevant. The companies with bids to help in rebuilding will still have opportunities.

brianwelsch wrote: building one, however is great Not entirely true. The aircraft itself, once produced does not add anything to the economy. Compared, say, to a fleet of trucks which transport goods. The trucks continue to produce for the economy once built, so the overall impact on the economy is much greater for a fleet of trucks than for a war plane. War may be good for a very limited sector of the economy, but overall the production of military weaponry and paying the troops places a drag on any economy. Economically, the US would be much better off if we downsized our military. "My job is to protect America" George W. Bush.

You assume that the losses will be replaced. Tim Smith I'm going to patent thought. I have yet to see any prior art.
Considering the current mood of the US administration it would be replaced by atleast 5 :-D My article on a reference-counted smart pointer that supports polymorphic objects and raw pointers

Stan Shannon wrote: The aircraft itself, once produced does not add anything to the economy. So aircraft maintenance, fuel consumption and pilot salary don't add to the economy? All of these things create wealth. The gov't has to buy parts and fuel from someone which gives them income and paying a pilot certainly gives him more buying power. Economics is not that simple.
