How will war affect business and the stock market?

If a news article posted on another board is correct, the sniper in Washington area is part
of a terrorist cell, and this is just the
initial try-out of a low-cost terrorist attack
on America.

The author mentioned videos that showed
terrorists practicing drive-by shootings, assassinations on golf courses and of law enforcement officials and home invasions.

All these intended to weaken the American economy. Just look at the impact of the D.C. area
sniper - business traffic off, events cancelled,
people afraid to go out.

We may soon find out how fragile the American economy is.
