SeirouslyDon't worry about it man.
You would be very supprised how little the opinions surrounding the Iraq war affect business.
I do have a problem with the war though, from a personal point of view. I earn RMB which is pegged to the dollar. The Iraq war caused the dollar to fall, dragging the RMB down a whole two points with it against the pound. Since my money eventually goes back to England, it's now worth over seven percent less than it was before the Iraq war. Those US troops and planes wern't bombing buildings and people over there - they were boming MY bank balance.

Well I realise that now, butI must have sent George Bush a hundred letters before the war, begging him not to invade Iraq. I now reluctently concede that an enormous loss of life, the spending of a few billion dollars and the ongoing trauma of a fifteen year war, are more important than me having to buy a slightly cheaper car - BUT NOT BY MUCH.
Next time I would like the USA as a nation, to show a little more consideration, and think about the knock on finacial effects to others, and more specifically me.
