Zalmay Khalilzad, US Ambassador to the United Nations, in an interview given to an Austrian newspaper, was quoted as saying,
"Europe was just as dysfunctional for a while. And some of its wars became world wars. Now the problems of the Middle East and Islamic civilization have the same potential to engulf the world,"
Do you believe that the problems we are facing in the Middle East could cause the next world war?

I certainly think so, and I think that one thing that makes the situation especially dangerous is the fact that religious zealotry plays such a key role in Middle Eastern affairs.

I have seen nations becoming close and having war games that have one thing in common. They all do not like the USA.
With this happening and Bush in office I am definitely a little worried about a world war. We are having trouble with Iraq China Russia and North Korea to name a few.
Bush has little to no interest in dealing with any country in a peaceful manner. He uses no diplomacy and tries to rule with a hard fist. This is not a good combination.
You have to know and understand other countries and cultures to be able to lead effectively. This is something he has no time for.
Bush has destroyed in his years what many presidents worked hard to achieve.
I can only pray that he does nothing but go on vacation with what time he has left in office. Then pray that the next few presidents can fix what he has destroyed.
It took many years working together to achieve the state of the country and the friendships we had with so many countries before Bush came to office. It only took Bush one term to destroy it. The second term is walking a fine line to another world war.
Pray for us all because the next big war in this world could be more devastating then we can ever imagine.

No world war again with nukes. To much of a downer.
That guy, Zalmay Khamelhumper, hasn't read a history book.

We are in a world war dear...it's just not a general war (that is the term used to describe wars without rules), we are fighting a controlled low intensity war in iraq, afhgan, phillipines, horn of africa...

Yes, it is possible, and why we need a President of profound wisdom to help guide us, and the middle east, in constructive and positive ways.

No it will lead to a Middle East Union with American Interest.

world war would mean that nations from around the world enter it to support their respective sides, so i don't see it happening.
