"The march to war affected the people's confidence. It's hard to make
investment. See, if you're a small business owner or a large business
owner and you're thinking about investing, you've got to be optimistic
when you invest. Except when you're marching to war, it's not a very
optimistic thought, is it? In other words, it's the opposite of
optimistic when you're thinking you're going to war." —Springfield, Mo.,
