What if the war was in America?

The war in America will be terrorism, no one at the moment can fight the US on her own soil with hand to hand combat.  Too many guns.  Could be nuked, but pretty hard in this day and age..  More likely terrorists.  The liberals will turn themselves in because they think that the enemy will let them live..

NO. America did not exist in Christ's time.

i think America wont try another bloody war like in Iraq, the Iranian ppl voted for thier president unlike Saddam so if there is any war coming it would be WW3.

If that was the case, all hell would break lose and there would be a huge war.\n\nThat'll never ever happen.

that's a good question, it almost became that way back in the beginning, I thought about this one for a bit and came up with this scenario; After the revolution the thirteen colonies would have made huge land grabs in their own interests,Everything east of the Mississippi would belong to the original thirteen with Georgia being the largest( the colony of Georgia would have taken almost all of the deep south just by the fact of her location alone) West of the Mississippi would be 4 or 5 large countries with Texas and California being the largest,The early 1800's would have been near constant warfare as countries fought over who would be the big dog. Spain and France would be easily tossed out with Georgia, Carolina, and Virginia taking the bulk of their land, The smaller northern colonies would form some sort of confederation to control a British presence in Canada,      Today we would probably look something like this; There would be probably a dozen different countries in North America today, each with a form of government similar to what we have now, some more conservative, some more liberal, a NATO type of confederation would exist for mutual defense and economic needs. I could see Texas, California and Georgia being three of the worlds top economic and military powers , as for what the world would look like, that's anyone's guess

Heck yeah! America would definitely be different for example the flag would be the British flag.  Americans would drink tea at teatime like the British Americans would spell the words "favour"and "practise" and not the Americanized "favor"and "practice".  Things would be so different if america were still a British colony, We might even live in a world without Coca Cola (maybe we might have invented it under British rule...really I don't know.) America would be very diferent if still a British colony.

Very good question. If the war HAD been about oil, we would have.

140 MILLION ARMED AMERICANS OUTSIDE THE MILITARY,\nIT WOULD BE A HUGE GORILLA WAR IN THIS COUNTRY.STILL BE FIGHTING.

This is very possible that would be considered friendly fire though. The Australians fired upon Americans during the Vietnam war if they were in there campaign areas too.

Wow, I have been gone for months and you people are still around.\n\nThis war isn't for oil. If it was for oil we would have TAKEN OVER the country and called it America II.

of course, it is only a matter of time before we find something to fight about on a world war level.  WWIII is inevitable, just like the sun rising, poverty, finding out Santa isn't real, and Google becoming the next big monopoly.

No. We've been here before with Korea and Vietnam. America would be incredibly stupid to make the same mistake again. \n\nIf America invades Iran (as America, and not through its proxy, Israel) America will be taken apart and humiliated in several ways:\n\n1 Militarily - America never wins such wars. It does not understand the passion of the peoples it oppresses. It always makes the mistake that military might wins out - it rarely does - the spirit of the people brings victory - and that spirit swells in the oppressed.\n\n2 Politically - all the World, and notably Europe, with Russia and China, will stand against America.\n\n3 Economically - the Islamic World will decimate US trade, not just oil, but shipping, property, automobile, air, military sales - you name it.\n\nThere will be no third World War over Iran - but America will be mightily defeated by the will of the third World.

Not likely. The U.S has made a bad thing worse. Bush is a war-monger, and as long as he's in power, war is inevitable.

With out the war America would be in deep doo doo  .\nI live in an area that has many government jobs in defense contracting and aero space support .East coast Florida by the space port  and dozens of spin off related government contractors with high tech positions for engineers and scientists .\nThis area also gets a fair amount of tourism and cruise line business including a gambling ship .For about 5 years the area boomed with new homes and employment .\nIt has drooped off along with the prices of homes, that had seen 30% increases over a three year period .Now prices have drooped , the jobs stabilized and no new growth .Soon many of these contracts the government awarded will be completed and new projects will need to be developed or many people will be out on the streets further hurting the housing market .\nIn order for my area to continue to do well we need more government money to flow in , and this means we need to continue to remain at war and even escalate it if possible .\nGenerally I oppose war but i need to sell this house and move to another area that has plenty of work for people like me .\nConstruction workers take it on the chin first and all that big money from the hurricanes and work has slowed to nothing and the housing starts have dried up .\nSo the work will be someplace else ,like maybe New Orleans .\nI have to hope for a war or some kind of tragedy on a  mass scale effecting thousands of homes to make a good wage .\nIn fact all the money I made in the last 5 years has allowed me to be picky about the jobs I take .\nI need a disaster or a increased war effort to remain here and still earn the 100,000 a year i am use to .

well the way i see it america brought evil and destruction to a soverighn state, they were a peacefull state before the invasion, another war where america is responsible whether directly or indirectly for the deaths of houndreds of thousands of civillians.good will overcome evil and im not a muslim.

A lot depends on what you count as a war.  The U.S. hasn't officially declared war since World War 2, so the answer could techically be zero.  Likewise, we have troops stationed in various countries around the world, and whether that counts as "going to war" or not is questionable.  You've gotta define your terms a bit more explicitly before you get a usable answer.

I would say how much did it make america earn. America was just an emerging country in the beggining of the century. It got awfully rich after WWI, and awfully rich after WW2\n\nselling arms during the war, and reconstructing after.
