I could be wrong. Things could go more like this...

The war on terror expands into Iran requiring additional troops and funds.

The security-industrial complex and military-industrial complex grow.
Shareholders of these companies see high profits, employ more people.
Investors are attracted to military/security holdings.
Most Americans gainfully employed in private companies funded by government contracts. (Most have never heard of the broken window parable).

Pressured from industry, politicians with pro-war message get more funding and mass media attention.
With mass media in the pockets of Washington bureaucrats, presidential candidates that do not support war are censored just enough to swing election results. Most Americans are not aware of candidates who support limited government in industrial affairs.

Worldwide disgust for terrorism and sympathy for America.

What happens next needs no prediction as we have countless historical examples.
