The problem I have with this view is that it's rational. The biggest wars were 
began without any rational thinking.

Wars don't cure bad economies; they are part of the bad economy coming at the 
end of the bad cycle. Examples are World War II 1941 (after the crash of 
1929), Korean War (Ressession of 1952), Vietnam War (Resession of 1974), Gulf 
War (Resession of 1990-1991) and possibiliy the Iraq War assumming we don't 
have another.
