Perhaps we are going to war....
Over the summer I was on RAF camp with the cadets and for one of the days during the week we had to go to an army base for the day. We saw a large amount of soldiers lining up to go into a large hall so we asked what they were doing.... they were receiving their injections for Iraq. We also saw approximately 30 tanks being "re-engineered." We found out that these were actually modifications to the tanks so that they could cope with desert conditions.
The person in charge of us said that injections have to be given 6 months before battle. This was 1 month ago - you do the maths. Of course I'm not saying that we will go to war, just that the possibility is certainly there and preparations are taking place.
As to the effect on airlines and recruitment etc, it would be very similar to the effect of the Gulf War which equals bad news.
