<strong>Invest in companies that manufacture metal detectors. Every mall, movie theater, etc. will purchase them after the first suicide bomber attack...

I really, really hope this will never happen in North America.
But I think this may be the next level of attacks, should the situation escalate. And at this stage, with other options (such as intensified weapons inspections) not fully exhausted, a war on Iraq (thread topic) with large civilian casualties would more likely than not provoke this escalation.
Al-Qaeda and its like-minded affiliates are not just our problem, it's a global problem. Let's hope law enforcement agencies around the world get their act together. And that ours have the sense to work with them.
Back to economic aspects:
Usually there is a surge in hiring at the beginning of a new year. It didn't happen this year, since many companies are being very cautious due to the possibility of war. All levels of jobs are affected.

Quote: Retired general Wesley Clark told the Senate Armed Services Committee that a war would "super-charge recruiting for Al Qaeda."
