Do you think that world war 3 has started?

this is a very philisophical, scary, thought-provoking question without a real answer. depending on the person you ask, some will yes, look at the nations we have invaded in the past 4-5 years (afgah. and iraq) with Iran coming really soon and others will say no way all the muslim nations have no army or technology we will beat them in any war. I think that the war on terror will last a long time but that its not WII although it could certainly blow up to it at any time

I hate to tell you, but World War III began on September 11, 2001.\nThere is a war going on for the hearts and minds of the world's peoples. You cannot reason with terrorists, you cannot bargain with terrorists, and you cannot defeat terrorism unless you are dedicated and vigilant. Make no mistake about it, there are terrorists in the world, they have one goal in mind, the destruction of the western world. Terrorists do care how compassionate you are, or how much you hate war. In fact, they think you are stupid and weak for holding those opinions. It has been made clear time and again by them, that their goal is convert us, and if they can't convert us then they will kill us. People need to wake up and realize that we are in a World War, and in the end it is going to be us or them. Each of us has too make choices about what side we will stand on for overselves. I cannot speak for you, but I am not willing to gamble with my life and future. The only good terrorist is a dead one.\n\nInteresting reading SirFranklin, and I completely agree with your assessment of Americans and freedom at the end.

I believe the end of the world as we know it will actually happen in our life times and it has already started.\n\nI know we have survived 2 World Wars already, but do you think we could all really survive a 3rd with nukes.  The US is the most powerfull country in the world and they are starting to flex some of that muscle around. Eventually the rest of the countries of the world will fight back. It will end up being a nuclear war, which would cause the end to us all even if we are to survive the war. This theorie in my opinion is even confermed in Revolations. War, plague, pestalence, ect.\n\nYes, I totally believe this.

I don't know anything about the Bible code 1 or 2, unless you're talking about the Da Vinci Code thing, which is fiction.  WW3 will begin in the Euphrates River, which is in Iraq where a lot of American troops are. Also, the Euphrates River will be dried up to prepare the way for the east to invade Israel.January 13,1990, the Indianapolis Star has an article about Turkey cutting off the flow of the Euphrates for one month. A concrete plug for a diversion channel was built, so Turkey now has the ability to dry up the Euphrates whenever they choose. This is a 1,900 year old prophecy that has only recently been able to be fulfilled.\n   Also a 200 million man army will launch a war that will kill one third of mankind. Only 3 nations now have the ability to raise that kind of manpower, it is likely to be China. Mao Tse Tung boasted in his diary that he could raise an army of 200 million.\n    There will be a worldwide numbering system, it looks like in America it's going to start out with the real i.d. act. We won't be able to buy or sell unless we are a part of it. (the worldwide numbering system)\n     We are going to have one world government ( the United Nations?).\n     We will also have so much turmoil over all the religions not getting along that the one world gov. will decide that we need to agree that all religions will need to tolerate others, so they will come up with a religious authority figure that says we all need to forget or give up what we believe and go with what he says we should believe.\n     Also, read Matthew 24, King James Version\n     There's more, but I'm afraid you're going to think I talk too much!

The World Wars are over.  Any country with enough military firepower to wage a global-scale war has sense enough to realize that those conflicts will escalate to nuclear conflicts with unacceptable consequences for all concerned.

Was there a WW1? Did WW2 follow? Think about it

Have you heard of the Yom Kippur war in 1973, Israel vs a coalition of Arab nations....Egypt, Syria and Jordan. That was worse than the current situation.....it didn't raise a blip on the world war scenario (not that it didn't have the potention as a spark)...just relegated to the heap of regional conflicts between rump states. When the strategic super powers square off into two camps, then come back and we'll talk world war. \n\nUntil then, just think regional conflicts, proxy wars, sabre rattling and brinksmanship.... After the next world war, we'll be back into the stone age and you won't have to worry whether a world war occurred or not.  \n\nYour first inkling that it has started is when your video game and tv go off from that initial EMP blast.

Its already started. It will be the longest war in human history, most painful, and fought for the most frivolous and stupid reasons.

That's quite possible.  I've actually been seeing this coming for almost 2 years now.  I never saw a different outcome.  I think that preventing the civil war from happening will actually cause more harm than good.  I saw split the country up now -- even without a war.  The country was manufactured after WW1 and has no business putting together groups of people that dont really like each other.

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.

In world war 2 Germany had already conqured most of Europe and showed no signs of stopping. If we had not saved their rears the map might look totally different now. Even if they stopped to secure Europe and recoup once finished with Europe (the smart thing to do) it was feared and likely they would push into the Americas, as I think they would have. Thus, we had to stop them or be conqured. Holocaust plays no role as it was not public knowledge until after. \n\nAlso, Pearl Harbour was a direct attack by another nations military. We were at war, like it or not. Japan also invaded Alaska and was dug in on land, something that you don't hear much about. Japan was allied with Germany although Germany told them to focus on Russia and meet in Moscow. Why a relatively tiny island would attack the US when it wasn't finished with China is absurd. WWII made us what we are and perhaps we didn't have the rep we have now and they thought they could frighten us. \n\nTerrorists are not attempting to invade or occupy America and do not come from any particular country. The goals of terrorists are uncertain at best. \n\nAlso Viet Nam changed things and created a more sensitive culture. We got to see war first hand in full color unedited by military journalists. Nam was the first war where civilian journalists were brought along and at the time everyone was excited to be on TV. The journalists went where they pleased and hopped on any chopper that had room. The blood and guts went straight to your living room at the independent news producers discretion at 5:30 each evening as famalies sat around and watched during diner. A mistake that the military will not repeat. The civilian media today is lead by the hand 'for thier own protection.' Nam also gave rise to the peace and love culture. In other ways it is a much different world today. \n(I can stop here but... some other thoughts)\n\nSometimes it seems like the terrorists just want us to leave the middle east alone. I'm curious as to what you think or are told that the terrorists agenda is. Yes they want to terrorize and kill Americans but what for. In Ireland the terrorists wanted independence from Britain, lack the ability for a military victory so, they hope to scare them into a concession. The definition of terrorist is one that attacks civillian targets in order to pressure a govt into something. What do the muslim terrorists want (not that we should give it or accept it)? Death to the infidels? Bombs every five years won't kill us all. There is a political motivation for these high profile bombings. Don't support Israel is an obvious one. Many in Iraq just want to drive us out of Iraq (seems fair). \n\nIraq seems more like a gurilla war than terrorists as well. Civillians may be harmed but the intended targets are usually military, local police, and the coalition govt. All of which are legitimate military targets so it's not terrorism. Trying to frighten us by bombings is not a good thing but not an imminent threat either. Protecting our home from terrorists is a job for police, FBI and CIA not soldiers in the middle east. I find it hard to even think of the war on terror as a war at all. It theoretically includes all terrorists not just muslim ones. They occupy no territory and don't have much unity. Remember Timothy McVay was a solo terrorist. Also certain militant Nazi groups in the mid west are classified as terrorists. \n\nThe mid east has fought for a long time and even if Iraq is stabilized our actions have not made us many friends there. Thus does not lessen terrorism but increases the number those who wish to do us harm. Although I'm just now starting to think the plan was to fix Iraq and show them how nice it can be and other nations may want it. Iraq was chosen because it's easiest and nobody really liked Saddam anyway, even there. If that's the plan it doesn't seem to be working.\n\nSomeone mentions 9/11 and Iraq. The t

I think there will be a WWIII

I have news for ya...we're currently in WW III!  It's most countries against a huge ruthless organization that is willing to die for their cause.  Anyone that doesn't realize we're currently in WW III lives in utopia.

Writing a book, hmmmm....Look people the next big one will start with nukes going off at the same time in Tel Aviv, NY, DC, and London. \n\nThat will be from Iran's Hamas, next will be freighters in all of the US shipping ports having nukes in lead shielded boxes in the fuel oil tanks of merchant ships. That will effectively take the US completely out of it in the first 30mins of WW3 \n\nNow after that North Korea will take South Korea and China will take Japan and as much of Russia as possible. Europe will wisely sue for peace with China as the new World Super power. \n\nAfter things calm down a bit negotiations between the EU and China will take place. The former US will be divided up between the two based upon the premise that France will not nuke what is left. \n\nDuring these negotiations the EU and China will also plan a lightning take over of the middle east which will also be divided up between the two powers. When all is said and done there will be peace and technological progress unheard of before.

The possibilty exits for WWIII. Recent happenings around the world suggest and actually point to this dreadful fact. Hunger, famine and instability in Africa, terrorism and civil unrest in Europe and the overbearing and meddlesome attitude of America in everybody's affairs all point to the possibility of a 3rd world war.

It already did start -- over 60 years ago!\n\nVery, very generally, I suppose most would say that it began when hitler invaded Poland in September 1939.  It isn't quite that simple, and many factors occurred that led up to that act, but that's the accepted answer for when it actually began.

At any given time in history, there are numerous wars and conflicts going on. Currently there are 40+/- conflicts in the world. The only time the WORLD WAR status is attibuted to a war is when the superpowers square off on opposite sides in open declarations of war. We are far from that scenario, altho i agree the spark is there to ignite a larger conflagaration. But for now, just think regional conflicts, proxy wars, brinksmanship and disagreements between rump states.\n\nWhen the US, Russia and/or China square, then come back and we'll talk WW III. The history books haven't declared the Cold War as WWIII or the current war on terror as WWIV. You'll know when WWIII hits, that burst of EMP will be your first warning....\n\nThe start will most likely be the result of a launch on warning hair triggers of the aging Russian early warning system thinking that NATO or the US has launched against them....a computer foul up will have started WWIII.
