Does anybody else believe that World War 3 is beginning?

Question

With the new Lebanon-Israel and the U.S-Iraq conflict doesn't it look as if a world war is beginning.If so what is your solution for ending these wars?

Answer 1

I think so .. I think people must stop the governments from starting the war..

Answer 2

Well I don't keep up with current affairs really well but I have noticed the following: The US has it's hand in Afghanistan and Iraq. The US is in conflict with Iran over the nuclear program it has going on. The US is in a showdown with N. Korea over it's missiles and reported nukes. The US is supporting Israel's attack on Lebanon. Venezuela president Chavez opposes the US and is trying to unite African countries to join in his mission against the US. There is a lot going on an I really do feel like we are headed towards another world war. I think the Bush administration should resort more towards negotiations and leverage. Going to war with everyone who doesn't comply should not be considered until all words and reason have failed. Lex Luthor, as he is portrayed in smallville, is a good example. He uses his money to leverage his position and get the things he wants without fighting. Granted, there's a lot of black mail and unethical things involved with that too.*lol* But my point is that you can get things done without fighting all the time. Sorry for the smallville illustration. I'm a superman freak. I can't help it.

Answer 3

Beginning? Yes. In fact, it's actually being fostered by the bumbling of our "leaders" in the Department of State and the Department of Defense, not to mention our president and vice-president, who are supposed to be working toward world peace and diplomatic solutions. Who is profting from all this fighting (don't forget Pakistan and India, and Darfur and Somalia)? Nobody that I can tell except Cheney's buddies at Halliburton and the oil men regaling in gasoline prices that will certainly go well over $4.00 a gallon before much longer.

But they try to keep maneuvering the public, especially the right-wing religous establishment, by exacerbating hatred of gays and Hispanic immigrants and women who seek abortions and anyone they can label as "liberals." If they can give people somebody to hate, they can hide behind thier flags and empty rhetoric: "freedom," "democracy," "victory." Their glorious fictions! They certainly don't want us to know how many Iraqi civilians have been killed, tortured, raped, and pillaged. Or even how many of our own troops have come home disabled for life or victims of post-traumatic stress syndrome.

Where are the General George Marshalls and the General Dwight D. Eisenhowers, and the Harry Trumans who knew from first-hand experience what war meant, and who worked miracles to restore and maintain peace after WWII? Where are the moderate Republicans who would listen to Ike in his warning against the dangers of the "military/industrial" complex? Where are the Democrats with the imagination to come up with a Truman Doctrine and a Marshall Plan to stabilize the world?

OK, so we had to live for two generations with a cold war. That's better than the six years of unilateral, "preemptive," imperialistic hot war envisioned and executed by the so-called neoconservatives of this administration. What destabilized the Middle East? The US invasion and subsequent occupation of Iraq, that's what. It took the pressure off al-Qaida; it strengthened Iran in its power in the region; it gave encouragement to the Hezbollah and the Hamas; it showed the North Koreans that the US is not infallible or invulnerable. Who knows where it may end?

These neoconservatives were warned. Oh, they were warned, but they wouldn't listen. And, by the way, none of them ever served in a real war. George II himself was a draft dodger who, even in the stateside reserves, went AWOL. But then Dan Rather got fired for making that clear, didn't he?

No, World War III isn't simply beginning. It's being brought on by incompetence and greed and arrogance of the power-hungry in this administration.

God help us if their power is not curtailed. God help us if genuine statesmen and women are not found.

Answer 4

I don't think so myself, most of the fighting going on is in the smaller poorer countries that isn't capable of a war with the US, Russia or Germany. These countries has older planes and pilots not trained nearly as well. For example look what the Unites States did to Iraq in a few days, put them back to the dark ages. I hope no war starts myself.

Answer 5

The seeds are planted and the reality is blossoming. Almost all the countries are involved in some kind of conflict, so all it's really going to take is one incident to occur, sides will be taken and then it's on!

Answer 6

I see a man or woman who does not understand his background gazing an Islamic international that has forgotten its background. If Islam somewhat wishs to return to the honour days whilst whilst an Islamic state controlled a brilliant swath of the civilized international, a time whilst the Christian Church had thrown their component to the international into the dark an prolonged time, they could bear in mind that the two Jews and Christians have been component to that international and include the two Jews and those aspects of the Christian community that have been their brothers in those golden days. regrettably, too lots of them are blinded with the aid of the golden innovative and prescient to bear in mind who stood shoulder to shoulder with them. Mayhaps it is now time for Islam to stress the international into yet another dark Age chanting all the mutually as that it is on a thank you to enlightenment.

Answer 7

No, their has always been war out there.

Solution? It is too many people's holy land. The only solution is abandoning religious states.

Answer 8

All we need is the talks with North Korea to fail and I think were pretty much set for another huge chapter in the history books.

Answer 9

No, I believe it started in 1979. Umm October I think. At the US embasy in Tehran. Solution for ending it? Kill, and I did say kill, not capture, the raghead radical terrorists and dictators who want to force their religion and way of life on the world.

Answer 10

i totally agree. dont forget N. Korea. There really is no solution though cuz Kim Jong is a terrible politician and the Isreal bit will never end.....
