Its not me Its u	It could be 28 minutes from now or 280 years from now. When the superpowers square off against each other in two camps, then come back and we'll talk WW III. Until then, just think regional conflicts, wars between rump states, proxy wars and brinksmanship. If you recall the Yom Kippur War in 1973, a coalition of Arab States (Egypt, Syria and Jordan) were soundly defeated by the Israelis. That was a worse situation than the current conflict and it didn't raise a blip on the world war radar (not that it didn't have the potential to spark a global war). The next World War will involve a nuclear exchange, how could it not. 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 when world war three will start, 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. Our biggest risk is an accidental launch of nukes by one of the nuclear powers. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

edwinbp.t21@btinternet.com	We are already at war, but no one wants to admit it. As un-pc as this may sound, its getting a little out of hand with the muslims getting so wound up at everything being said and done. Some thins I can agree with them being p*ssed off but it is getting a little crazy Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

medic	We won't know until years after it is passed. Soldiers in WW1 called it the war to end all wars, afterward they called it the great war it wasn't until after WW2 that they renamed them both. We may look back from 2054 and say that 2001 until 2015 was the period known as WW3 during which militant Islam was eradicated and the world has been happier ever since. Or we may look back from the shambles of civilization and wonder who released the superflu and wiped out 95% of the people. It won't go nuclear and militant islam doesn't have to resources to win a conventional fight. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

one glove	i doubt crusades but maybe Bush will "locate" more WMD's and americans will have to go in and clear out all the "bad guys". Then we can leave them stationed there for years and years. at least untill we have used up all their resources. maybe not tho. ww3? it will prolly happen some day. hopefully for a better cause than why were fighting now. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Abularaby	2-5 years!! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

MSSP	Its simple mathematics. We need to back-calculate from the area affected by a single average Nuke. Then who has them and how many and what it takes to irritate them so much. USA, China and Russia have the advantage when it comes to both area and number of nukes. So there's no WW III unless these three want to have it. So basically not in the next 50 years. Even if the most militant of the Islamic groups get hold of a few nukes, the damage inflicted on the west is not worth the response they will have to face. And they know that. So they will only wage a proxy war till they can match the military might of the West but its more like an asymptote as the West wouldl keep adding things to its shelf. There will be many wars, of smaller scale I mean, in the middle-east and Africa, but no WW III in the next 50 years. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Grogsy34	I'm sick and tired of all you "the end is nigh" crazies, you used to walk the streets with boards tied to you, now you are all saying it with your PCs, stop worrying about the future and change the present for something better, that will take care of the future.

Walter Ridgeley	WW3 = The Cold War = Ended in 1990 with the capitulation of the Soviet Union. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

suspendor	You don't understand. WWIII began five years ago. This war isn't being fought like WWII, though. like you said, it is also a religious war. Nobody actually knows how to fight this new kind of war, so it'll be protracted, and not as obvious as the two before it. But it really is a world war. The muslim radicals have seen to that. America is just working to focus their attention in Iraq. So far it's worked well. But it ain't over yet. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

goldmedaldiver	World War 3 was the Cold War, we're in World War 4 right now, the war against Global Terrorism. Countries have been declaring war on each other for all of written history; what's new about today, except hearing about it faster? Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

jit bag	Well, according to the Mayans, the end of the world is in 2012, so...2008 when the next dictator-I mean "president" is "elected". Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
