Well I will say after this war ends then our technology will once again spike up and our economy will boom like never before. War is the best thing for a floundering economy....think about the government grants for research and development of anything used in war: communication devices, computers, engines, etc.

After the war is done and when there is a little more political stability, when we understand where the new Pres (whomever it may be) is taking us, we're going to have the market come back up and the dollar will come back in value and everything will be right with the world.

The last couple of Presidents inherited recessions or stagnant economies.
The US isn't leaving Iraq for decades unless the Iraqis boot you out. Still many trillions to be spent there by America to keep Iran in power in Baghdad.

In what ways will technology spike and the economy improve if the US were forced out of Iraq?
