No telling... However, I don't think it will be anytime in the near future. Even with all of the present conflicts going on in the world, I don't think any of them will produce a full fledged world war.

Venezuela, Iran, and North Korea all want a war especially with the United States. Being that all three are from all over the world and something does happen with them all at about the same time, it sure will look like a world war. Even united, however, they aren't even close to the power of Germany, USA, Russia, or the United Kingdom during the first two World Wars so it probably wouldn't last very long.
No sovereign nation will be the first to start WWIII. It will be a Splinter Cell of fundamentalists. The reason no one country will risk starting a global war is because they know that the rest of the international community (save for a small few nations) will be totally against them. Look at China, they're concerned about N. Korea and the recent Nuclear test. Why? Because China's economy was 2 TRILLION dollars last year because of trade with the west. N. Korea detonated that missile for one reason only: leverage on the bargaining table when it comes to trade with them. N. Korea has had sactions on them by the U.S. for nearly the last 60 years or more.

Yeah, and everyone thought Iraq would be a pushover too. Never underestimate the strength of a country who's values are derived from religious fanaticism.
Well I think that all these little countries are screaming at us mooning us and spanking they're butts saying come and get me, if the U.S. decides to pursue them it will be an elusive snipe hunt. I don't think the US could handle any other contry besides Iraq riht now without a draft. The US will send out all its troops and spend billions of counterfit dollars and thousands of lives for a bunch of empty threats. Then the U.S. will have all it's resources expended and will be unable to defend themselves because of the expended power and treaties that it is forced to abide by that others will break (For example building Nuclear weapons), leaving it wide open to countries like Russia or China. The more the U.S. launches the first blow the more they will seal their fate. Universal laws will compel the equal and opposite reaction to happen to keep universal balance otherwise we would live in a realm of chaos if exceptions could be made to bypass the laws embedded in the universe.
What im getting at is, What you do unto others will be done unto you. Like yelling in a canyon and recieving an echo. Are you going to shout positive things into the canyon that echo back to you? Or are you going to yell negative things in the canyon and have it all echoed back to you?
The U.S. is lucky so far, but that just means the equal and opposite reaction is building up and will release all at once and backfire on them.
I don't want to sound prophetic it's just a theory.

True, which is why we've worked so hard to do good. Or don't you consider freeing thousands (millions?) of Iraqis from Saddam's rule good?
That is true Josh. However, it created a huge power vacuum, and Al Quaeda conveniently moved in. Saddam kept Al Quaeda out of Iraq during his time as dictator.

That might be true... but are you suggesting we should have left Saddam?
I feel that the United States dug their own grave going into the Iraq War. On the other hand, I can see it was to upload democratic principles. This is a legitimate reason, however with unpredictable results. Also, the president lied to us about his reason for going in. Bush even admitted that he lied.

Really? I don't remember that. Do you have a link? I think the thing that the New York times just came out with, saying that pete hoekstra was showing people how to make atomic bombs, it proves that they had WMDs, or at the very least, that they had the capablility to make them at a moment's notice.

Well, he didn't directly say he lied, but he said the US went in without legitimate proof and the reason they had given the American public was false.
