    No, Al, I really don't. If you take a sober look at the world's powers it doesn't add up that way.

    Yeah, the US is involved in some overseas adventures right now, but they have no desire for WW3, and I have little doubt that whoever takes over in Washington in '08 (Democrat or Republican) will pull the horns in. Public opinion at that time will virtually demand it.

    The Chinese are currently more concerned about ways to strengthen business exports, and they know that a regional war (let alone WW3) would be disastrous for their economy. That's why they are currently the most important factor in curbing the North Koreans. I don't think they'd allow them to get to far; it simply isn't in their long term interests.

    The Europeans have ABSOLUTELY no desire for war of any kind, and would use all of their economic and political muscle to avoid one.

    Russia has neither the means nor the desire for war, and is far more interested in developing its natural resources and forging close ties to Europe through exporting natural gas and petrolium.

    In short, what I see is that people around the world (even in India) are more concerned about creating a more stable business environment.

    P.S. I'm glad you found a satisfactory answer for "Klesmurial Meemutemps." I spent an hour trying to help you out.

    Yes I do think WW3 is in the not so distant future. History always repeats itself. As long as America has this desire to Rule the world there will always be hostility against not only the us but her Allies. The U.S. can be attached from each border. what would we do then? Our troops are thousands of miles away "protecting" other countries.

    I'll pray for all of the soldiers and innocent lives that have been and will be taken.

    1) Lebanon

    2) Syria (bombing enters)

    3) Jordan hit by hesbola (suposedly accidently)

    4) Iran joins (almost unwillingly due to syria)

    5) China joins 1 year later.

    Most of the world sits around lazily while usa , israel and moderate muslim states claim amazing victories. Liberals ***** and moan about the number of chinese killed with conventional weapons.

    Not our fault they throw millions of ground forces around like plinking targets.

    Funny stuff huh...

    Bush and his Neo-Con Christian buddies want to take credit for the Rapture happening on their watch, so they are forcing it to happen by waging as many wars as possible.
