Default World War III

I'm looking for everybody's opinion on this Subject. Here are current issues going on that many are saying will lead to World War III.

1. Iran is being accused of attempting to make Weapons of Mass Destruction and there is proof that some of steps have been completed in the making these weapons. They aren't cooperating with the UN and have threatened to wipe Israel off the planet.

2. North Korea has withdrawn from the Non-Profilation Treaty, completed assembly of Weapons of Mass Destruction, and has been shooting missles over Japan and in the direction of the US with possible missles that can reach US mainland.

3. Israel is attacking Lebanon attempting to erradicate the Hizzbolah group that captured two of the Israeli soldiers. Nations, with the exception of the US, are saying Israel's retaliation was too much.

What you all think?

From what I have read, North Korea's missile that has a long enough range to possibly hit US mainland id inaccurate and problematic.
As for the rest....the US needs to start worrying about ourselves for once. We need to stop the Christian groups(and others) that are sending money to Africa to feed starving children while we have millions of homeless here in the US that they snub their noses at. I'm not saying to be greedy, but damn it, make sure your roof isn't leaking before you fix someone elses.
We have our border problems, terrorist problems, financial problems and much more, yet we want to be the world superpower and charity provider....yet how many Americans are struggling to get by. Charity begins at home...apparently we have either forgotten that or it began at home long ago and has since left.
We need to be a part of the UN, not the only nation willing to sacrifice to uphold the regulations of the UN. There is too much political kiss-*** going on. Hell, gas is $3+ a gallon....kissing *** hasn't done too much good for us has it?
Lets apply our worldwide strategies to home, lets apply our lending power to Americans first and other nations second. I'm not saying become a reclouse nation, but lets take care of ourselves. We do so much in the name of Democracy and what do we usually get for it? Billions of dollars in debt and our flag burned in the streets. Lets bring our troops home to protect our borders from terrorists. Perhaps I should just shut up because of all the ramifications to come from all of what I have just said, but that is how I feel.

Im in the military and personaly what we are doing over seas alot of people dont see or hear about. There are alot of stuff that im not alowed to talk about but me just returning from the desert know for a fact that what we are doing over there is for a good cause. As to your question about world war 3 i dont think it will happen any time soon with the stuff that is going on right now. Also about the sending money over to the poor kids and familys over there i dont think that we should take away there money. The people in the states had there chance starting with going to school, getting a job.....and so forth. Its there own fault they are the way they are. They have options, the people over seas dont have so much of a choice. I could go on about this stuff all day but everybody has there own opinion on what is going on and what we should be doing.

Israel will blow the **** out of Lebanon for awhile and the world won't do a thing about it because they're chicken (as always) BUT... I think Israel has the right to destroy Lebanon if they want.. the bastards attacked them first.

The world will do something small to N. Korea.. like sanctions and what not... maybe bomb their missle silos and all that.. MAYBE.. i'm not too worried about them. They're a starving country who thinks they can control the world because they know (sort of) how to shoot a cylinder into the sky.

Iran.. well.. if anyone will start a world war I think it will be Iran. I see Israel finishing off its thing with Lebanon, then teaming up with England, the US, etc, etc to put a stop to Iran's nuclear ambitions.

Hit up google and search the term "return to normalcy". Then search october 29, 1929, I love you and all but its like that.

Now I am not trying to say that if we drop all forgin obglations we will go into a depression but for the world economy to function right we need to act outs side of our boarders. What happend in the latter 1920 and the 1930's taught us that for the world to function nations have to be involved with each other, lend hands. like my fav. quote for SST, "we are in this for the species people". I am not saying that we are doing the right thing by being so involved with the middle east, and I am not saying that we are not doing good things over their. (currently I am reserving jugment untill the end).

What I am saying is that team work and cooperation makes the world run smothly... its like out maf sensor. The un is an aweseom tool... which we use. Their will be no wwIII, not yet at least. The un was desgined to do so and their are international rules, like the genova convention, that prevent people from ganging up on one another... but that is limited to america because we run this piece. Litteraly, we pay 90% of the un's buddget.

Back the the point, Kim Jong IL is a ****tard and if he even gets a missle close to us we are going to rip him a new one. Iran and lebanon will chill the hell out, and the band is going to make it. Word bizzle.
