Of course wars generate spending in the economy, but it takes time, and isn't instant. Also, it's not like it was in 1941 when we started building hundreds of tanks. We already have most of the equipment. Once we get a handle on Iraq and the oil starts flowing like it should be, paying for reconstruction as well as our own costs, and everyone's gas gets back down to $1.40 a gallon, people won't bitch so much.
