What is the most critical issue in the world today?

Question

Global Wariming
Narcotics
Terrorism

Answer 1

Consumption of natural resources....when/if China/India become saturated to their new ways of life their demands on our natural resources will be too much.

Answer 2

Terrorism. The very backbone of civilization is being threatened by shadow persons with questionable motives, a total lack of any sense for humanity and nothing to lose. How do you combat that without bringing potential horrible results to many innocent people? Global warming and Narcotics are huge issues and could eventually impact mankind but we CAN address those for resolution. I see no solution to ongoing terrorism that, unfortunately, seems to be spreading rather than contracting.

Answer 3

George Orwell warned us, but what American would have expected that in the opening years of the 21st century the United States would become a country in which lies and deception by the President and Vice President were the basis for a foreign policy of war and aggression, and in which indefinite detention without charges, torture, and spying on citizens without warrants have displaced the Bill of Rights and the US Constitution?
If anyone had predicted that the election of George W. Bush to the presidency would result in an American police state and illegal wars of aggression, he would have been dismissed as a lunatic.
What American ever would have thought that any US president and attorney general would defend torture or that a Republican Congress would pass a bill legalizing torture by the executive branch and exempting the executive branch from the Geneva Conventions?
What American ever would have expected the US Congress to accept the president’s claim that he is above the law?
What American could have imagined that if such crimes and travesties occurred, nothing would be done about them and that the media and opposition party would be largely silent?
But, alas, "law and order conservatives" have been brainwashed for decades that civil liberties are unnecessary interferences with the ability of police to protect us from criminals. Americans have forgotten that we need protection from government more than we need protection from criminals.
Americans should be roused to fury that attorney general Alberto Gonzales and vice president Cheney have condemned the defense of American civil liberty as "a grave threat to US security." This blatant use of an orchestrated and propagandistic fear to create a "national security" wedge against the Bill of Rights is an impeachable offense.
Mark my words; the future of civil liberty in the US depends on the impeachment and conviction of Bush, Cheney, and Gonzales.

Answer 4

The three issues you have listed are certainly big issues in the world today, but I'd have to say that the two biggest issues are simple: starvation and education. Everybody needs food. If everybody was educated, more jobs and the like would be provided. Why should some people have such abundancies (like me being able to just walk into the kitchen and eat whenever I want to) while other people have NOTHING. Absolutely NOTHING.

Answer 5

Sorry I'm not choosing those words you listed. I would say the most critical issues in the world today is love and forgiveness. Its hard to see love in this world with all these new weapons and drugs these days. And it's hard to see forgiveness in the world cause so many people have built up strong prides within themselves. That is what i think.

Answer 6

I'd say it's overpopulation. Fewer people would certainly solve global warming, since fewer people would release fewer greenhouse gases because of a lower demand for petroleum products. Fewer people would want or use narcotics, too, if the percent of users stayed the same. If we used less mideast oil, the terrorists based there would have less money to carry out their acts, too.
