I wouldn't say that it's nothing to do with the war. The fact is that there are a lot of volatile elements in the foundations of the US economy. The Iraq war and the spending it requires is just one of many such sources of instability. Other factors include a huge trade deficit, the sub-prime mortgage fiasco, and a dependance on China to finance American debt.
If there were only a couple problems, the value of the USD would probably remain relatively stable. There are just too many issues undermining faith in the greenback and the economy it drives. Don't expect it to rally until at least a few of these issues are addressed.
