Unfortunately, WWIII will be global suicide, therefore in answer to your question, as long as there's rational superpowers who believe in MAD, there will be no WW3. By definition, the next world war wil be nuclear, how could it not. In a nuclear war there will be no winner. In a nuclear world, the only true enemy is war itself.
The next World War will involve a nuclear exchange, how could it not if both sides believe no price for victory will be too high. In the first 30 minutes, nearly a billion people will have been vaporised, mostly in the US, Russia, Europe, China and Japan. Another 1.5 billion will die shortly thereafter from radiation poisoning. The northern hemisphere will be plunged into prolonged agony and barbarity.
Eventually the nuclear winter will spread to the southern hemisphere and all plant life will die. You ask what country would be victorious, you are asking when will we commit global suicide. My answer is it won't happen soon because the larger superpowers are more rational than the rump states in the middle east.
While we hear talk of a nuclear-Iran or a confrontation with NorKor, little is said about the 2 bulls in the glass shop. The arsenals of Russia and the US are enough to destroy a million Hiroshimas. But there are fewer than 3000 cities on the Earth with populations of 100,000 or more. You cannot find anything like a million Hiroshimas to obliterate. Prime military and industrial targets that are far from cities are comparatively rare. Our biggest threat is from an accidental launch by the Russians.
At the point of global suicide, it doesn't matter who is on what side.... In a nuclear age like i said before, the only true enemy is war itself.

When you look at all the events happening, thinking totally logically, I get the sense that we (humanity) do seem to be heading down the road to some sort of apocalyptic Armageddon. Totally removing politics from your thought, look how world events (the bad things happening) are not only happening more often but also spreading. World War 1 was called "The war to end all wars." Yet, only about 20 years later, Word War 2 started. Will history repeat itself?

Sure it could.
Everyone(third world countries dominated by this empire) will eventually realize how they have been exploited (at least the people) and pretty soon there will be conflict and a war may start.
the new ww3.
U.S. is getting all worried about Iran having a nuclear plantation there and if they keep on bugging them, then hey something might happen.
Or the U.S. can just go over there(Iran) and bomb it, they bomb whoever they don't get anything from.
So yeah, you can be sure something like that might happen.

Not doubting that so far the Iraqi people so far threatened us, attacked Britain, and then attacked Scottland and if they keep attacking seperate places in the world it is a possibility that WW3 could happen but the main blame is on Bush

What makes you think it isn't already happening all around the world? If you take a look around you should see very plaintively that we suffer from a syndrome classified as McWorld vs Jihad. It refers to that fact that over commercial and forced capitalism around the world has transformed into imperialism. Local government and peoples sometimes see this as a threat to their sovereignty and rebel as a result. Extremist religious groups then thrive on that hatred of Western influence which leads us to present conflicts in the Middle East. I hope this answers your question thorough enough.

The possibility of another world war does not necessarily hinge on any one country, and yes it is possible. The evident probability history has shown us is that there are always wars... At any given moment now people are fighting and killing etc. Whether or not we see major war in the western hemisphere in our lifetimes would be foolish for me to try and predict, but yeah war is always a definate possibility.

WW3 not only COULD occur, it's already begun. It started September 11, 2001, and God only knows when it's going to end!
