The War Goes Well. So Where's the Dividend? ÀüÀïÀº ¼º°øÀûÀÌÁö¸¸ ÀÌÀÍÀº ¾îµð Àִ°¡?
The images of military triumph from Baghdad last week, as Saddam Hussein's statue and his regime toppled, brought a measured sigh of relief from the business world. Economists' worst fears about the impact of the Iraqi war had not materialized. American casualties were limited. There were no big oil-field fires, and no terrorist reprisals yet on American soil. So far, so good, it seems. Áö³ ÁÖ »ç´ã Èļ¼ÀÎÀÇ µ¿»ó°ú ±×ÀÇ Ã¼Á¦°¡ ¹«³ÊÁö¸é¼ ¹Ù±×´Ùµå¿¡¼ ÀüÀï ½Â¸®ÀÇ ¸ð½ÀÀº °æÁ¦°è·Î ÇÏ¿©±Ý ¾ÈµµÀÇ ÇѼûÀ» ½¬°Ô ¸¸µé¾ú´Ù.

Yet business executives and economists said in interviews last week that while the progress of troops in Iraq was unquestionably good news for the economy, as one source of uncertainty recedes, it remains to be seen whether the battlefield success will prove to have been a turning point. Still unclear is whether consumer confidence and business investment will not only revive from their war-jitter depths but also begin a more sustained recovery.

The answer, the executives add, will depend partly on the longer-term geopolitical ripples that extend from the conflict in the Middle East. Can the United States military greatly reduce its involvement in Iraq soon, or will the troops be mired there in a lengthy police action? Will ousting Mr. Hussein be a step toward greater stability in the region or bring an anti-American backlash and fresh waves of terrorism? ±â¾÷°¡µéÀº ÇØ´äÀº ºÎºÐÀûÀ¸·Î´Â Áßµ¿ ¾Æ½Ã¾Æ¿¡¼ÀÇ Ãæµ¹·Î ¾ß±âµÈ ÁöÁ¤ÇÐÀûÀÎ ¿µÇâ¿¡ ´Þ·ÁÀÖÀ» °ÍÀ̶ó°í µ¡ºÙ¿´´Ù. ¹Ì±¹Àº À̶óÅ©¿¡ÀÇ °³ÀÔÀ» ¸ÓÁö ¾Ê¾Æ »ó´ç ºÎºÐ ÁÙÀÏ ¼ö ÀÖÀ» °ÍÀΰ¡ ¾Æ´Ï¸é ±º´ë°¡ Àå±âÈµÈ Ä¡¾È ¾÷¹«¸¦ ¸ÃÀ¸¸ç ÁøÈëÅÁ¿¡ ºüÁö°Ô µÉ °ÍÀΰ¡?

The economy, executives and economists note, faces a litany of uncertainties beyond the war — including an alarming rise in jobs lost, rising state and federal deficits, and signs of a retreat from the commitment to free trade and globalization. Individual industries are confronting their own challenges, from the falloff in travel to Asia because of fears of severe acute respiratory syndrome, or SARS, to the enduring slump in the information technology and telecommunications businesses. ±â¾÷°¡µé°ú °æÁ¦ Àü¹®°¡µéÀº °æÁ¦´Â ÀüÀï À̿ܿ¡ »ó´çÇÑ ºÒÈ®½Ç¼º¿¡ Á÷¸éÇÏ°Ô µÉ °ÍÀ̶ó°í ÁöÀûÇϰí ÀÖ´Ù.
