it is not really like the past 2 wars. but more of a series of wars. with the americans and their allies on one hand; china with other nations, in opposite opinion with the americans, and a third party, who are the opponents of the americans.\n\ni believe that the americans have to go to war mainly not to protect their people from osama bin laden. but it is more because of the oil in iraq and the business that it will generate to stop or even slow down overheating of their economy/ or recession.\n\nif the troops from iraq go home right now, i am sure that the us stock exchange will crash and there will be a recession in the us. and there's nothing americans can do about the ever growing economy of the chinese, who do good business with us foes like iran.

Yeah Japan and S. Korea are it. Other than that, the other countries are 2nd class.

there is a large village in the DMZ. Perhaps this is the middle Korea that you have heard about.

During that war the entire country was turned into a weapon making machine.  Things were made in almost every factory that existed.  To name all of those would be a huge project.

Gee, where do I start.  Let's see, corrupt government. Incompetent officials.  Brutal police force and military.  Deep religious divide.  Lack of accountability (I guess that goes with the corrupt government).  I would be surprised if it's NOT falling apart.  It has been failing apart for a good part of the past few centuries.

Both world wars were in the 20th century. Also the wars in Korea, Vietnam, Iran, Iraq, etc. I think that most wars start as someones freedom of religion is denied.

Not enough to keep on squandering it on wars, wars, wars, and more wars. \n\nWe're going bankrupt because of those wars, wars, wars, and more wars.

The world will never be a peaceful place as long as there are material interest as a base of society,it's simple-people are greedy and that meeans that no matter their lack of need they will threat other people for their resources.It isn't fair yet it happens since the begining of the forms of human organisation.

War and conflict drove people away.

Because that would be costly, chaotic and just one big problem!  There are too many religions, cultures, etc...If all of these people were forced to live in one country, war would be inevitable and a lot of lives would be lost.  As long as people are different, there can not be world peace.  Sad, but true.

ummah? If you mean infrastructure, then you should consider the communist influence on the third world. Those boys didn't understand money. There obsession with violent overthrow of government, has hobbled much of the third world. Third world is gullible, and they buy inferior jets too.

I think you got carried away a little when putting thi question to such an extent it is difficult to assess exactly what you are trying to say. I am British and I am proud to live in a country which has democratic elections and freedom of speech. On the whole it has a decent and fair minded attitude to others. If ths was endangered I would very much be in favour of defending our way of life. You seem to have a thing about the Chinese. At the moment they are too busy looking after their own affairs to worry too much about what is happening in the rest of the world. Bear in mind also that China is starting to encompass some of the Western world's trends such as private enterprise etc. There would be no gain in China causing a war on a global scale. When you refer to the 1930's and 40's I assume you are referring to the Second World War. This is different. Then there was an identifiable enemy. They formed an army and wore uniforms. You knew who you were fighting. Today the enemy is miuch more covert, subversion and cowardly. It will not come out identify itself and engage in combat. It infiltrates our lives and carries out its atrocities randomly and deviously. It is far more dangerous. However our way of life must and will be defended vigourously.

Mostly because of taxation. Because they have different values and mentality in these countries but it can also be affected by availability of oil in the area.

The problem is that battles are no longer restricted to battlefields.\nIt gets problematic when the enemy hides amongst the population.
