Every world war has started in Europe!  What is their problem?  I bet WW3 will start in Europe too.  Also their is a good chance other Non-European countries will be dragged into it.

the reason why europe has been starting world wars is that they were the most advanced countries in the past and moreover europe being a congested continent with the countries so close to each other, they always had an issue with each other and with so many of them involved things used to become very tricky.\n\nanyways i think that the third world war would  not be started by europe.  it would most probably start from asia with the US playing a key role(not in positive sense)

That is Europe for you. They want our help in time of war (WW  1, WW 2) but ask them in so called Peace time , forget it..Germany & France are the biggest offenders. They have not forgot we beat Germany & set free France in WW 2. Old grudges last long. Who are they going to blame the next time some nuts blow up a skyscraper in Berlin or Paris. Who will they Yell for help to? The terriost are going to LOVE the EU . THey have more rights to their money then you do yours.

There will always be world wars (if you're counting there have actually been nine, including the American Revolution, and the French and Indian War or Seven Years War depending on where you live) \n   There will be more world wars, as long as there are violent people on the earth, they just might not be labeled as such.

why not...if WW3 starts there will most definitely be a shortage of tp and in all honesty it beats the hell out of a corn cob or tree leaf.

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.

All I know is that after WWII, we have been starting useless conflicts in places such as Vietnam, Korea, and Iraq in the name of power and lies!!  They have been successively more stupid, and now we're in deep with a country whose people didn't deserve to be murdered, because our president lied.  He should be brought up on war crimes charges, and put in front of a firing squad with Cheney, Rumsfeld, and all the Senators and Congressmen and women who have supported his dumb *ss!!  \n\nIn answer to your question, we (George W. Imbecile) would start it, and EVERYONE would be the loser!!  COUNT ON WWIII and the end of mankind if it happens!!

This year is full of surprises. I wish to play well and prove that they deserve to be there.\n  Now i think that many European countries could do better (Russia,Turkey,Romania,Belgium).

It is exactly because they don't believe in the here and now. They await for their "King" to descend from sky and burn the whole earth and make a new one for them.\n\nDo not be surprised if Third World War is about to break, they would be the ones who wholeheartedly welcome it as well be behind it.

The 3rd WW will be different from the 1st and 2nd. It may already have started. Iraq fighting USA and its allies (most of the developed world) is one example. We could add in Afghanistan and Iran. Turkey is drawn into it because of the Kurds. The Russians are still fighting the Chechen's and others. Israel has been fighting its neighbours for 60 years. There are many battles going on in Africa. The Chinese, Koreans and Japanese are the not the best of friends. India and Pakistan have been fighting in Kashmir for years. The list is a long one. \nWhat is the third world war about: People use religion as an excuse but it is not religion. It is about ignorance and stupidity. The best example of this the USA.

World War was was inevitable. If it wasn't started by the assassination, it would've been started by something else.\n\nHowever, Germany should not assume the blame. The Brits, Russians, French, and Austrians are just as much at fault.

Well, war has always existed, it's a mean for states to expand their area of influence and to assume their security.  However, I do not understand why it is still a common occurrence.  Plenty of international mechanisms have been implemented to regulate relations between states which could resolve conflicts before they are carried on physically.  The bad faith some states constantly demonstrate put a strain on these organization (i.e. UN did not support the war in Irak but the US still carried on)\n\nBut the problem lies deeper, it's intolerance that is at the root of most wars.  States today do not carry wars for expansion (most of the time) but rather to impose their view on others that do not have the same lifestyle.  \n\nPart of the solution would be to allow every states to sit on the UN council whether it is considered democratic or not.  It would also be necessary to allow all ethnicity to use their native languages and practice their culture as long as it does not infringe others liberties.  Some regions of the world are not suited to become democracies, at least not yet, and it is something that westerners have to accept.   Maybe the common denominator should be that everyone should accept that the Western ways are not the absolute best and we should stop to impose them on unwilling populations.

The world has been at war in one way or another since the dawn of civilization.  Now that our weapons are bigger, and communication brings news to our desktops within minutes, we are much more aware of what's happening.  That's all.\n\nWars are started by fools who want domination or control of others.  99% of humanity is pulled into battle to stop the 1% of homicidal maniacs that just happen to run this country or that.\n\nIf you believe that the vast majority of Americans, or Germans, or Muslims, or Afghans, or Iranians, etc., want to start wars and kill others rather than just living their lives quietly, then you are one of the 1%.\n\nCarlos Santayana said that "those who do not remember the past are doomed to repeat it."  So far, most of the war mongers seem to have no memory of history.

On UK news the other day they mentioned that the German police are particularly watching Polish fans at this year's World Cup.  They interviewed one of the thugs who explained whose country's fans will be targetted and why.  English and German fans were particular targets.\n\nHere's a link: http://service.spiegel.de/cache/international/0,1518,397447,00.html\n\nSad isn't it.\n\nThey should organise the Football Violence World Cup.  Get these gangs somewhere on thier own and let them sort it out amongst themselves.\n\nps. I think one of the reasons the Polish want to fight with the English hooligans is that the English ones have such a bad rep.

Sure, if they want to start WW III. On NPR a week ago some military guy was saying that in every scenario of an attack on Iran it ended up with a huge uncontrollable war involving the entire middle east. ITMFA!

This is ridiculous.  There have been times when the US has got itself involved in armed conflicts that Britain started (not least two world wars) and also times when Britain has got involved in conflicts at the behest of America.  The two countries are very close allies and the current anti-Americanism in Britain is very worrying.\n\nIf we weren't so closely allied to our great transatlantic ally, I think we would quickly end up being just one state in the United States of Europe, which would be a tragedy.
