Are you asking whether World War III has started? The answer is a resounding YES.
Who causes it? Those who decide to initiate the war. Who would those people be? That is an interesting question.
There are millions of people, check that, billions of people on the face of the planet who need and live off the products based on oil. BILLIONS. Nations depend on it, you and I depend on it. For good or bad, that oil is in the hands of a precious few, who don't much care to use oil revenue to improve and globalize their countries. Saudi Arabia, Iran, Nigeria, Venezuela, Mexico, these are among the most regressive societies on the planet. Not the fault of their people, for the most part, but the governments have decided (save for maybe Venezuela) that the people don't need the money, it's better to keep it in the upper levels of government or kings. This would really piss off a lot of people, and they SHOULD be pissed off at their governments, but instead, those governments direct anger and dissatisfaction to the OIL users! Interesting. So, you find the people willing to pay market prices for oil, being attacked as 'infidels', 'evil', 'devils', 'sinners', every bad name in the book. All the while, that money is concentrated in the regimes that oppress the people, but get little or no blame or pressure in return.
I have little discomfort with the American way of life. We as a nation, as a people (not speaking of the government), work hard, we play hard, we pay our taxes, we are philanthropic on a global scale, and we play by the rules for the most part. We do NOT scheme, plan, finance or execute terrorism or asymmetrical warfare on other nations outside of the state mechanism. We don't have to, we like our way of life. So much so, we want to share that way of life with millions of immigrants, AND we want to help other nations develop capitalist democratic societies to help THEM share in our abundance and lifestyle.
Others, however, are content with anger, frustration, self-hate, suicide, homicide, destruction and constant revenge and death. This is their response to their government, to their neighbors, friends, family, etc. They are content with chaos and anarchy. That is their way of life. There may be reasons they are angry, but their solutions are not personally effective and are not NATIONALLY effective. They are sabotaging their own situation further, by striking out in an asymmetric, covert manner.
Does the world believe the U.S. will stand quiet while terrorism grows and festers around the world? Does the world believe that the global need for oil will be sacrificed in any material way because there is a 'terror premium' associated with it? NO! The Chinese, Americans and Europeans ALL NEED OIL, and they will do what they need to do to gain secure access to it. Ultimately, terrorism will suffer, because those in need of oil are better financed, more equipped militarily and eventually will have the greater will to secure both oil and victory.
The root of the problem, however, is greed, corruption and inequitable allocation of wealth. That root exists in the regimes in Tehran, Riyadh, Mexico City and other oil centers where the common people have little hope, the wealth is accumulated among the very few in control of the government and oil production, and unfortunately, to some extent, the regimes are supported by the U.S. (not in Iran or Caracas, for sure).
We shouldn't fail to realize that human need drives some of this conflict. We shouldn't fail to realize that violent and death-affirming ideaology in extreme sects of Islam are permanent and self-perpetuating. I fear that even as oil becomes less of a factor in oppressing those who living in oil producing states, the standard of living will fall even more precipitously. At that point, you will find revolution and anarchy a guarantee. The battles may have begun now, but it will be a long war, of ideaology and economy, and in the end, I do hope that progress, freedom and democracy prevail, becomes the alternative is simply not going to advance or preserve our species in the least.

I think that we will have another war.
It has already started. But, will intesify to NUCLEAR WAR on September 12, 2006.
I know a lot of people say you a can't name the day nor the hour but read the whole chapter. So you can understand that we are suppose to prepare and watch for it. How are we going to watch for and prepare for something that we have no idea when it's going to come.
I clicked YES on a poll that asked if I believe. Most are voting NO.

I dont think there would be a war called world war 3 wherein its like the third part of ww1 and ww2.
There could be wars where u may not know who is on whose side.
The earlier concept of friends friend is a friend does not exist now.Hence it would be like many countries fightin wars here and there and all would be engaged in some kind of wars or tensions tat the wars at other places cannot be diplomatically pressuirised

With our currently leadership.
Probably the US.
They'll base a preemptive strike on something silly like WMDs in a country that isn't threatening us. Or- to fight off global terror.
It's pretty well accepted that there are a large faction of Christians in the US that are waiting and hoping for the Armageddon.

in my view, KH ought to bigger frequently than not follow classic Disney videos. Pixar must be quite cool to comprise besides, fairly toy tale. in basic terms imagining Sora as a toy, struggling with toy heartless makes me desire that they comprise it. i ought to also like looking Nemo to interchange Atlantica, i imagine it must be a useful replace of p.c... yet in Marvels case, i imagine it must be too troublesome too upload Sora into the storyline for any of those videos, devoid of replacing it alot. favorite man or woman wars, on the different hand has too a lot too upload to the game. there's a really fantastic line of such as only adequate to satisfy the favorite man or woman wars tale line, and having that international drag on perpetually, now to not indicate the very incontrovertible reality that mild saber vs. keyblade seems extremely cliche. If marvel or starwars is blanketed, i imagine it must be more beneficial valuable to in simple terms have some characters blanketed, fairly than an finished length international,both as a form of summoning or such as them in a non Disney international (type of like hollow Bastion and the international That in no way changed into). On yet another word, a very last Fanasy international must be too troublesome to pull of at this aspect in view that too lots of the characters were jumbled mutually with one yet another and placed in diverse worlds, yet i'd not concepts if more beneficial FF characters were extra in like Lightning from XIII or Vaan from XII, perhaps even Noctis from XV (quickly to be released) no be counted what the builders make certain to do, i receives the game, and that i ought to have a exciting time playing it. I have self assurance them adequate to entice close i am going to thoroughly get exhilaration from playing and that i'll't be disillusioned by using the way it seems. playstation - Notre dame has already been blanketed in KH beginning by using sleep.
