205,000 jobs lost in one year in the country's most populous state? Get your war on.

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.

Instead of protesting the war, all those who are concerned about unemployment and California's economy should welcome it with open arms.
