It'll certainly be a blow to the economy, and it *may* be perceived as a show of unity with the Iraqi people - but that's debatable. One thing it most certainly will NOT do is be an impediment to the military. Firstly, the military has an entirely separate fuel distribution network (and not one that you can effect any control over... unless you can get to the relevant US supply bases in the Gulf... which will be the only ones worth compromising to have any practical effect on the Iraqi campaign).

If you argue that a blow to the economy will inevitably lead to an impediment to the military, then you are assuming that spending cuts will be targeted at the military rather than welfare or public services, say. Attacking the economy of the UK will result in the most vulnerable people suffering long before the wealthy or the powerful do.
