There is a lot of unrest in the middle east right now. Civil war in Iraq, and sectarian violence in Afghanistan, and violence in Lebanon. Could we be looking at World War?

Without a sense of who would support Iran, I can't really say. Iran is potentially dangerous, but without allies, they won't bring enough force to the table on their side to make it a world war, as opposed to a one-sided stomping.
And if they use a nuclear weapon first, they'll be lucky if Iran isn't turned into radioactive glass inside of twenty-four hours.

If the Bush Administration has anything to do with it, yes.
The PNAC morons have been trying to start a wider war in the area for decades and now that they have a fool of a president in their pockets, yes.
Of course if Bush had never invaded Iraq there would be no Civil War in Iraq, no sectarian violence in Afghanistan and Lebanon would be at peace. So thank Mr. Bush if the answer is yes.

Iran having a successful Nuclear program may make the area more stable not less. Right now the major threat to Iran is the USA. We have show that we are willing to attack without provocation. There is no other supper power to keep the USA in Check. IF Iran has the nuclear weapons we will think twice about attaching that country.
Iran is one country that knows that the rhetoric we preach about spreading democracy to be false. Iran had a function democracy from 51-53 that was overthrown by the US and British because they nationalized the oil fields.

I really doubt Iran having nukes are really going to alter the balance of terror very much. After all, China, India, Pakistan, Russia, likely Taiwan and South Korea already have nuclear capability. Any of those countries could undergo a signifigant change in management, like Iran in 79 at any moment within the next 10 years, the amount of time it will take Iran to have nuclear capabilities. Iran would also require a delivery system (missiles or bombers) capable of posing a threat.
At the moment they can only threaten their neighbors, which will turn them to glass if they were to use the nukes.
Iran is surrounded by the US in Iraq and Afghanstan at the moment, can't really blame them for being a bit paranoid and engaging in activities designed to protect themselves.
Iran has been attempting to promote their Islamic revolution since 79 with virtually no success and an extremely unreceptance audience. Nothing has really changed to make their message more acceptable.

there is not any longer any logical reason that Iran would want to furnish up that is nuclear application. they are flexing their muscle and ought to to the international and exhibiting them they do now no longer bow to the demands on the U. S.. The President of Iran hasn't fairly made any threats hostile to the country of Israel. the U. S. media is such an utter failure at ideal informing people of the reality of this get mutually and purposely mistranslated his words to slot the agenda of Israel. He in trouble-free terms has reported that Israel would want to through no ability were created as a u . s . and he's actual. Iran is optimal probably justifiably worried about an attack from Israel, a u . s . who fairly has nuclear guns in spite of their refusal to admit it or expose what percentage they have and characteristic no longer were given any qualms about impressive Iran and are begging for an excuse to finish that. Pakistan would want to fall to Taliban rule alongside with the nuclear guns we gave them, yet Iran a u . s . that has fairly executed us no harm diverse than overthrow the dictator we put in and choose their very very personal authorities is ultimately a extreme probability to us. Oh of route the completed scholars taking the embassy hostage aspect again in seventy 9, which optimal persons do now no longer even comprehend the completed tale on, regardless, they are no probability to us.

Tough question, easy answer, yes and no. If countries move forward and press Iran, perhaps they will back down. If they move forward, perhaps try to sell a bomb, the world will react. I want to hope not, but in the next 10 years, the world may be very different. I worry alot about Iran. Hope that helps.

No it would not lead to a World War. People are so afraid of human anihilation... therefore, humans would prevent any kind of Nuclear World War as much as possible. However, it would lead to something similar to invasion of Iraq... where the US would bomb/dismantle/destroy Iran's nuke facilities.

We could be, but hopefully the good people of Iran will see where they are being lead by bad leadership. We can't allow them to get nuclear weapons.
