Now we get to go to war with Iraq because they have chemical and biological weapons supplied to them by those two great Americans. The idea that an American President has much sway over the economy is a myth perpetuated by both political parties to lay claim or cast blame whenever it is expedient, but not very based in reality. An awful lot of economists point out that idea that "war is good for business" is bullshit, although there are some short-term gains.
