Get your war on and end California's high unemployment

The article about CA's unexpectedly high unemployment rate here ends with

With Gray Davis and George Bush California gets nothing. Davis is too incompetent to employ effective political tactics of any sort, while George Bush simply doesn�t care.
205,000 jobs lost in one year in the country�s most populous state? Get your war on.

In response, I posted the following comment:

Get your war on indeed.
War would bring a tremendous boost to California's economy. Both Silicon Valley and SoCal's aerospace industry will benefit from huge new defense contracts. The war will increase not only the demand for news but for entertainment as well, and Hollywood, which directly or indirectly employs hundreds of thousands of people, will greatly benefit. The harbors of Los Angeles and Frisco will benefit from shipping materiel to the war. Instead of protesting the war, all those who are concerned about unemployment and California's economy should welcome it with open arms.

Let's see who gets confused.
