The economy in US was not really good, after the Iraq conflict getting worse. Because the WAR cost US so much money and the Tax payer paying for that. Now all the region Middle East full a oil, so anytime some conflicts starts the oil prices going up, the dollar is going down and only the people (Bush friends get rich). When the economy is not good people loosing their jobs. So it's going on and on and on......

It has 2 negative effects.
*Israel gets weapons for free from the US, so that is money lost.
* It increaes the risk of terrorism against America. There is a direct economic cost if a 9/11 style event took place. But also even if it did not take place, there is a huge cost(in 100s of millions) to the American economy from trying to prevent one from happing(flight cancellations, people traveling by cars instead of planes, security procedures at air ports, the costs from following a false alarms, having to have more security personnel, etc)

Hmm... modern historic previous ring any bells? via fact did no longer they do basically that some years in the past? besides, i'm basically a splash cynical whilst the sole source quoted source for the variety and numbers of those 'long variety' missiles (via fact it incredibly isn't long variety, it relatively is medium) is an IDF Brigadier wide-unfold. it is in his interest to construct up the prospect. That way whilst Hezbollah lob missiles into Israel (which they actually will) he's already generic the mandate for rolling all the way as much as Beirut. And curiously they'd could invade by UN instruments; i ask your self how that would flow down with Israel's familiar allies?

As usual war will be good for the economy. Look for the prices to go up in metals mining. All those bombs, rockets, missiles, bullets and vehicles have to be replaced.

USA supplies Israel with arms, so the USA will get more money.

Since America supplies weapons to both sides, I'd have to say that it will definitely give it a boost.
