I think the new paradigm is that war does not actually make money for the economy. Under Clinton's term, or, if you prefer, under a period of congress for 8 years controlled by the republicans and newt gingrich, our country had unprecedented levels of prosperity. Everyone made money. Cheney, Bush, Senior Bush, you, me, your parents. and as far as war stimulating technology, war did not lead to the massive growth of the Internet. It was after the cold war and before 9/11 that the dow quintupled. So I don't buy the good for economy theory.
So try to give us a real reason why our govt would do this.
