NEITHER I'M MOVING TO ALASKA, TO GET THE FARTHEST AWAY FROM IT WHEN IT HAPPENS; I MEAN BEFORE IT HAPPENS. WHY DID U ASK THIS QUESTION? WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO WHEN WE HAVE WW3?

Yes if they continue with what they are doing and produce a bomb then it will be a World War but a very short one. With every nuclear nation hitting them at the same time. They will end up being a glowing hole in the ground.

Do you talk about Matwees or Samurl Huntington's "clash of civilizations"?\nAs it looks it is inevitable. Just hope it will go easy on the world, because Bush looks serious about taking up a war.

The world is comming to an end?

It already is.  As they are much more subtle than we, it does not look like much, unless you look closely as you have.  They have been buying up parts of the US, Africa, the Pacific Rim,  and negotiating deals all over the world as well.  The have invested heavily in education while our kids can't compete with Rwanda in math and science.  AS the world goes digital, and international conglomeration of business is nearly complete, people in our society will find they cannot compete, lacking even the basics in education.  I think we may well wake up one morning to find we have fallen way behind, and discover we have become a third world nation.

One could say that we are in WWIII right now, although most unlike WWI and WWII.  Seeing so many violent protests throughout the Muslim world over the cartoons of Mohammed published by Danish and other European newspapers, I can't help but think that the conflict between the Muslim world and the Western world has been escalating for centuries, and will soon erupt into a much larger scale conflict.  It's not about the war on terror, Bush trying to take over the world, Oil-rich capitatlists trying to manipulate the government, but an age old conflict of political ideology, religous beliefs, nationalistic pride, etc.\n\nBut if you refer to an all-out conventional/nuclear war between the most powerful countries of the world, i.e. America, Britain, France, India, Israel, vs. Russia, Iran, China, Pakistan; then my answer is no, thanks to globalization.  No matter how precarious relations between the world's most powerful and/or influential nations may be, most politicans will realize that such a large scale war is economically stupid, when even unsound peace is economically preferable.

Neither, the only scenario or definition of a nuclear war and/or WW3 is when the superpowers are squared off into two camps.  The only thing on the radar now is regional conflicts, proxy wars, sabre rattling and brinksmanship.  \n\nWhen the US vs Russia and/or China in OPEN declarations of war, then come back and we'll talk WW3.  A nuclear war with tactical nukes make be in the cards, however, but it won't be global suicide if they're put to limited use at the Natanz hardened facility in Iran or to a response from a NorKor invasion.

Somebody will as the world's existance could easily be at stake. If Iran develops nukes it almost assures WW III will come about inside a decade of them aquiring Nukes. If somebody dosen't all that stood by signs a death warrent for the world.

We've been fighting a world war since 2003. Think about it. With the start of Operation Iraq Freedom, this conflict has affect all of Europe, the United States, All of the middle east, and of course now Asia is getting affected because of North Korea's scandal of Nuclear war weapon testings. South Korea is on its toes waiting for an attack, and China is backing up North Korea. Vietnam is on the verge of another civil war because communism is eating up the economy. And with the fall of that trading agreement with the US, Vietnam will be going through a depression (not like it hasn't since the fall of the French) \n\nSo if you think about theoretically we've been in a world war. Everyone is in some ways connected to Iraq.

No.  WWI was long over by the 30's.\n\nWWII? Maybe.  Very difficult to say.  I think that delayed is more likely.
965977
No, but then again Europe has had Stalin, Hitler, Mussolini, Franco and all of the royals. I think we're still far ahead of the game.
1084689
well each country keeps on developing newer and better weapons to oppose another, in case of conflict / war. If you want to survive, then yes.

I think that we will have a military prescence in those two countries for many years to come.  Look at Germany and Japan. 60 years after the end of WWII and we still have forces in those two countries.

No.  That much is obvious at this point.  It will be a war in the end, I fear, The majority will win but it will be a bloodbath with many innocents losing their lives in the process.
