If there is a war, there is a good possibility of the draft.

Wars actually stimulate the economy in the short-term. Long-term, unless the war is over soon, its not as good for the economy.

Currently ANY airplane that goes over Washington D.C. or NYC within a 25 mile radius will be blown out the sky by combat patrols.
Then I feel really bad for all those people on commercial flights into those cities. They've actually recinded that order (it only stood last Tuesday and while commercial flights were banned). All of NYC's airports are open and Dulles outside of DC is open (Regan National was still closed the last I heard).

As far as a draft goes, it all depends on what kind of war we're fighting. If we're fighting a war equivalent to what the British do in Northern Ireland, then there will be no draft. If we fight a war a la World War 2 (and I highly doubt this; just look at the possible combatants) then there would be a draft.

To the person who said FIRST lasted through Operation Desert Fox, if you remember correctly, that was just a build up and no attack. Sadam backed down so there was no attack. I don't think that counts as a war.

At the moment, I think we can only sit back and wait and see what happens. At the moment we're just randomly guessing and thinking the worst when that's not likely to happen.
