I know the war is getting worse, but i'm not blaming anyone, because war is a part of America. It has been since the Pilgrims came here, and even before. We did not get this country by backing down. But, myquestion is ...do you think that WW3 is around the corner?
Because today Osama's Message, and something about the Middle east's gulf guards are taking over..idk...but anyways what are your opinions?
Please no ignorance!

It's not only possible, its probable. In view of the aging Russian early warning systems, a nuclear war could happen at any time. You hear of all the talk about Iran and terrorists getting ahold of A nuke. Little is heard about the two bulls in the glass shop.
The arsenals of the US and Russia are the scary scenarios when you're talking nuclear war. Not so much the US causing it, but mainly from an accidental launch by the Russians thinking that NATO or the US launched against them. It nearly happened in 1995, when the Russian 'suitcase' with the launch codes was activated for the first time in history....and this was in the POST-Cold War!!!
At any given time in history, there are numerous wars and conflicts going on. Currently there are 40+/- conflicts in the world. The only time the WORLD WAR status is attibuted to a war is when the superpowers square off on opposite sides in open declarations of war. We are far from that scenario, altho i agree the spark is there to ignite a larger conflagaration. But for now, just think regional conflicts, proxy wars, brinksmanship and disagreements between rump states.
When the US, Russia and/or China square, then come back and we'll talk WW III. The history books haven't declared the Cold War as WWIII or the current war on terror as WWIV. You'll know when WWIII hits, that burst of EMP will be your first warning....

Things are very touchy right now around the world but I hope that noone wants another world war.
Before the collapse of the Soviet Union and end of the Cold War, an apocalyptic war between the United States and the USSR was considered feasible. The Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962 is generally thought to be the historical point at which the risk of World War III was closest. Some other past possibilities were the Korean war, Suez crisis, Yom Kippur war, Norad, exercise able archer, libya scud missile launch, and the Norweign rocket incident.
There have been close calls but it hasn't happened. That is why we need a conservative in office right now because a WWIII could mean the end of the world with the power of nuclear bombs nowadays.

I think it has been here for a few years already, and historians will say were where in it since either 9-11 or March 2003.
