Will SADAMS execution cause WW3?

Answer 1

It definitely will not cause WW3. There are not enough major powers in the world that are divided on the issue. Not to mention that as a "world stage" figure, Sadaam didn't rate.
Now a total collapse of stability in the Middle East - that I'll go for 100%. There is a big enough division of fanatics on opposing religious fronts, that when the civil war goes into full motion in Iraq, the surrounding countries won't have a choice but to become involved for their own sake. I mean once the war begins spilling over the borders of Iraq, everyone around them will be in the middle of it.
That's when we need to worry about our butts, because the aftershock of that will definitely involve us. Since Asia is tied in with many of the Middle East countries, when they become involved then we will necessarily be in it too.
And if all of the oil gets cut off, Iran enriches and starts launching, and several other major things, then we again will necessarily be in the middle of it.
After everything plays out there, it may result in WW3, but I don't think the execution itself will cause it. It will just leave enough loose ends, that when tied, have to come to a head in the ultimate showdown.

Answer 2

You'd need to define WW3--- There is so much warfare and suffering all over the world now--True, no hydrogen bombs going off yet. I doubt Saddam's execution, per se, will be the cause of that.
The ONLY solution: everyone love God (no matter what you want to call Him) and love your neighbor like unto yourself.
As long as humankind splits itself up into ridiculous factions and wants to kill each other over their differences there will be ideological wars. And as long as humans want to selfishly take all resources and hoard them for their own selfish use without sharing with others, there will be wars over all the other stuff.

WW3--- WW a billion! Every time you chose to use or abuse another living entity, you are contributing to the wars in this world.

Answer 3

No Bush already started THAT. It will only create another way of followers to beat back.

Saddam was just a dictator in a region full of dictators and war-lords...Saddam's death will only heighten the awareness of others in the region that they need to be prepared in case of invasion....thus the rush of everyone in those regions to arm themselves with Nukes....thus my comment on WW3 already has begun...it's just a matter of waiting for it to play out.

Will WW3 really happen? Stay tuned...not much we lowlies can do but watch it unfold...of course look at the morons we put our faith in...it's only a matter of time if that's the best the USA has got to offer...God help us if we actually stood up and demanded change from our governments.

Crazy horse stop....you're actually making sense...don't you know in a world of insanity, the sane often seem insane????? ;~)

Besides, it couldn't possibly be so...Saddam was too strong headed to actually be allies to (or be used by) the USA.

Answer 4

No. Disruption of the oil flow out of the middle east is much more likely to cause WW3. To that end, Saddam's execution may be seen as nothing more than a link in a chain of events.

Answer 5

We truly missed the boat on this one; we should have supported Saddam when he was in power. Before you start blasting me let me explain.

#1) Saddam's regime was a non-secular government that would have provided an excellent buffer to Iranian Islamic extremism.(Do you think Saddam would stand by and let Iran enrich Uranium?)

#2) A strong Saddam Hussein regime would have been an excellent ally on the war on terror. He would not have tolerated Islamic extremists operating in his country.

#3) With a strong Saddam Hussein regime the middle east would be a lot more stable, and we wouldn't have had to fight two wars, spend trillions of dollars, and loose thousands of American lives.

#4) with a strong Saddam Hussein regime he could use his political influence and a little "Saber Rattling" to help diplomatic situations get resolved quicker.

#5) without having to have large US armies in "Islamic Holy Lands" Al Quada may not have been as motivated to strike at the US directly.

We had an opportunity to have a stable ally in the region but we blew it and hurt our position in the Middle East for decades to come. I also don't want to hear any garbage about supporting a evil regime, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait are not much better, The ruling families get 99% of the wealth while the rest of the population lives far below the poverty line. Not to mention the slave labor they import from places like the Philippines. In Saudi Arabia they actively teach their children to hate Americans, why do you think the majority of the 9/11 hijackers were from Saudi Arabia?

Answer 6

This man has been treated to well and should have been stopped in 1990 when we removed him from Kuwait he should have been taken from power and to hell with the UN mandate.
He is of less important than a rabid dog, a rabid dog is Innocent and infected through no fault of it's own, and deserves to be treated humanely.
This thing does not deserve the time we are now spending on him and he is now in hell and burning well I hope

Answer 7

No. Out of sight, out of mind. There will be reactions, but not WW3. Once America gets their foreign policy realigned, things will settle down. We will pay a high price for many decades for Bush's errors in loss of respect/clout with other countries. Our leaders and ambassadors will have to work very hard at getting that respect back. We need to be ONE of the peace keepers, working as a team, creating a village for all of us to live in.

Answer 8

I thought WW3 had already started. Everybody seems to be at loggerheads one way or the other. Its just being fought differently from WW2

Answer 9

Not directly, no. It's a government execution, not an assassination. Still, it may spark a new wave of violence, though, but afterwards that will only last a while, because he'll already be deceased. No one to save after the fact.

Answer 10

Not world war 3 but it is gonna be a dark day in Iraq. Lots of people are going to die. Not just Sadaam.
