Read the original piece from Broder:

What else might affect the economy? The answer is obvious, but its implications are frightening.  War and peace influence the economy.  Look back at FDR and the Great Depression.  What finally resolved that economic crisis? World War II.

Here is where Obama is likely to prevail. With strong Republican support in Congress for challenging Iran's ambition to become a nuclear power, he can spend much of 2011 and 2012 orchestrating a showdown with the mullahs.  This will help him politically because the opposition party will be urging him on. And as tensions rise and we accelerate preparations for war, the economy will improve.

I am not suggesting, of course, that the president incite a war to get reelected.  But the nation will rally around Obama because Iran is the greatest threat to the world in the young century.  If he can confront this threat and contain Iran's nuclear ambitions, he will have made the world safer and may be regarded as one of the most successful presidents in history.
