Can Ahmadinejad start World War III?

I kinda think he'd play a major role in World War 3, but he'd need a lot of help. Even if he bombed Isreal today, everyone in the world would gang up on him, probably. He'd need more support from more powerful countries before he could start a war, kind of like how the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand only led to the First World War because Russia supported the Slavs that Austria-Hungary was oppressing. Maybe if the modern Russians take military measures to protect Iran, then if Iran nukes Isreal and gets counter-attacked by America in turn with Russian troops in Iran, maybe then we'll get World War 3.

The us is already at war with iraq and terrorism mainly. if we were to go to war with iran our problem would be multiplied by a catastrophic amount possibly leading to world war three.\n\nI also disagree with the person right before me it is a problem to every one . iran will want to use those weopons on the first person that pisses them off they are a ticking time bomb.

I think that he is just trying to hurry along the arrival of the Muslim prophecy of the Mahdi, or the last Imam and the one that is said that will bring the whole world to Islam. The souce below will tell you more but getting back to the point, Ahmadinejad, wants to hurry along the Mahdi's arrival by creating more war with the US. He has had what people would call a religious experience, at least that is what he said. That source is the second one listed. He'll be worse than Saddam, Saddam only served his own ego, but Ahmadinejad thinks that he is serving God with what he is trying to do or most likely will do. Personally, I don't think that he is crazy and this whole controversy has shown a lot of hypocrisy of many other nations, mostly those that are negotiating with Iran.

Yes there will be a world war.The basis for starting the war are being laid by USA everyday.This country needs energy and hence it wants to control the source of energy i.e. oil .Most of the oil is in Middle East. The war will start over a cause which will not any basis as it happened in case of Iraq.The origin will be from Middle East and USA.IT will certainly happen during the tenure of Pres Bush.

I think Bush has already decided to bomb Iran to prevent them from making a nuclear bomb.  Bombing Iran would cause World War III because China and Russia will go against the U.S. and we could all get nuked...)(

More thank likely another conflict in the Middle East is very likely.  \n\nThey are comparing the president of Iran to Hitler when it comes to anti-semistism.  I was reading somewhere, I think it was an article on CNN, where someone was saying that back then people just dismissed Hitler's anti-semtic stance as just rhetoric or empty speech and if they acted they could've prevented the Nazi Regime.  Well that person said that they should not dismiss the president of Iran's speech as rhetoric, empty speech, and pursuit of nuclear enrichment, but they should "act" this time around.

Who cares what those people think.  I'm more interested in preventing iran from franchising out nuclear weapons to all the arab states and then blowing up the world as part of jihad.  Whatever it takes to prevent that is justified and if that includes turning Iraq, Iran, Syria and whomever else needs it into a sheet of glass because the liberals in this country won't allow the necessary oversite to prevent this in a humane way, then so be it.\n\nWhat matters is preventing world war 3, not satisfying idiot liberals.

yes...Look people the next big one will start with nukes going off at the same time in Tel Aviv, NY, DC, and London. That 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 Now 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. After 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. During 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.

Why do people keep asking this question?\n\nThe US isn't invading Iran anytime soon.  Besides, in order to have a World War, you generally need most of the countries in the world to pick sides and fight each other, and that's NOT going to happen.

No, absolutely not.  This would send the entire middle east into war.  Iran would invade along with Syria.  We must stay until the Iraqi's can defend themselves.  A gradual reduction of troops over a three year period should do the trick.  I am a White, Catholic, Male, Italian.

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.

no cuz we dont have enough troops and money to start a war with Iran. but with Bush we never know what he will do next, like a drunk guy, you never know were he will stumble to.

The man is insane.\n\nI'd rather die than live under the rule of an dangerous extremist who thinks the Holocaust never happened, that Israel must be "exterminated," and that the world will end in the next generation.\n\nPaul B, you really think that the President of Iran would "beat cheney or bush?" What the hell is wrong with you? Do you know ANYTHING about this psychopath? Go do some research on what a homicidal nutcase Ahmadinejad is, THEN talk about it.\n\nI know you're just messing around. I am just creeped out by the guy.

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad - President of the Islamic Republic of Iran\n\nHe was elected like Hitler.\nThe man made his name as a kidnapper and torturer.\nHe threatens to wipe out whole nations based on racist ideology.\nHis ideology was founded by the Mufti of Jersualem in 1930s, who was a wanted man by the Allies in WW2. The Mufti was a close ally of Hitler and lived in Germany for a number of years before trying to raise revolts against the Allies in Arabia, in support of the Nazis.\nHe develops weapons in secret to avoid treaty obligations not to do so, as did Hitler.

Interesting question.Many fanatics and sects said it would happen on Aug 22 2006 when the Iranians gave their reply\non the nuclear programs and many believed that would start\nWW3 but thats unlikely.First the U.S would impose sanctions and all of those diplomatic things.Sadly in WW3 the U.S will learn\nthat all countries will not give up after nuclear missiles glass them\nas many Americans today believe that its an easy solution and we can just "Nuke em like Japan".WW3 is more likely in the next decade when Iran does get nuclear weapons.Infact they would\nhave the resources to produce 250 nuclear bombs yearly just\nwith the resources they have.The enrichment progress\nwhich will not be solved  or halted as promised by the leader will complete in 6 years time or that is what they said last year but the basic part of enrichment will complete in March 2007 and yet it will take 5 to 6 years for him to be a real nuclear threat or to the point of causing a world wide panic and causing a WW3.The\npoint when Iran would have to be attacked is wheen they gain\nthe weapons.As promised by the leader of Iran he himself\nbelieves that he was sent to Earth just to start WW3. He believes\nits his duty to bring judgement day as well as build an Islamic Empire.He believes that he must capture Jerusalum.Well at this point most would say he is crazy but thats what they said about\nHitler. But Hitler was given the time he needs to build his Army\nand Navy as well as Airforce.The only mistake he made was\nto reasearch nuclear technology after the wae had begun and it\nwas not in their interests as Berlin was being captured and they \nneeded the money to do something else.Even without nukes or perhaps 2 nuclear bombs 50-65 million people died in WW2.\nMukmude Ahmadinejad is more smarter then that and he building\nhis Armies as well as nukes before acting on the world.In a speech he said "What is the security council anyway?The whole\nworld knows that America and England are enemies of Iran".\nAnd hundreds of thousands are seen clapping and cheering.\nHe also makes other remarks "If you want to have peace with Iranian people then you should acknowledge the might and the\nright of the Iranian people,if you do not do this,the Iranian people\nwill force you to bow and surrender"again hundreds of thousands\ncheer.and applause and say "death to America" and "death to Israel".By this you can see that he is serious.His people are with him.All the Peresians are with him.Its not like Iraq when there are insurgents against Saddam and Sunni's and Shii and Kurds\nkill each other.With Iran they aere all with him ready to lay down\ntheir lives.As many nukes as the U.S may send theywill sill move into Iraq and toward Jerusalum in an attempt to seize it.The\npeople will not care if nukes take their lives and the Iranian regime will not either.They will do anything possible to try\nand destroy Israel.Unlike Japan they are willing to die for their religion and insane prophecy.I mean if you see these quotes by\nhim said to the Iranian people you will notice that he is up fo\nsomethin or in his case preparing for something. "I say\nto the leaders of some western country,stop supporting these corrupt people,behold the rage of the muslim people is accumulating,the rage of the muslim people may soon reach\nthe point of explosian".These are the kinds of things that Adolf\nHitler said.He wanted to establish a world empire and he wanted\nto make nuclear weapons he just made a mistake by doing those things during the battle.Otherwise Iran is preparing.Many\ntimes their president ha said again and again that he wishes \nto wipe Israel of the map as well as to run an Islamic empire\nlike acient Babalyon.He made plans for his world as well.\nBy these statements he made you get the gut feeling he is ready\nfor something.I mean it might not happen but its likely that we may see a WW3 in 2012 or anytime around that.The

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.
