Is it me?....or does the middle east represent future doomsday for everyone?

Some say we have no respect for life.  And we have nukes.  Everyone gets all worried when a new country gets nukes.  Sadly, the power a country obtains by having a nuke (USA!) makes it a desirable goal for countries.  We were just as afraid of pakistan and india having nukes, but now that they have nukes we 'work' with them.  We won't negotiate or lift sanctions with/on North Korea, but if they get nukes, we'd meet them as equals instead.  So you see, the United States created this 'everyone wants nukes' problem.  I'm sure the rest of the world isn't so sure we're completely trustworthy and capable of having them, just as we're afraid of other countries having them.  You'd think the solution would be to eliminate nukes.  Sadly, that's impossible because then some other country would get them and they'd be the super power like the USA.  And then we'd be on the short end of the stick internationally.  Basically, we'd be screwed.  It's a no-win situation.

Full scale paranoia. I gues as long as the US holds the doomsday of the world by themselves, they're happy. The complex developed from the Cold War, when Rey-gun was in office. Despite SALT I and II, he decided to make more nukes, same with others after him. With the doomsay device in their hands, SOLELY in their hands, they are happy. Simple rulernomics on the road to imperial control...

I didn't go to any of your links.  I chose to believe that we are in the end times simply because of Bible prophecy and the Book of Revelation.   God has come close to the hour of closing this chapter on earth.  No one knows the exact hour or day, but I believe it is sooner rather than later.

I think its just another thing for people to freak out about. No one knows when the end of the world is, and I'm sure if it were 06/06/06, there would have already been some pre-event signs. If you are freaked out about it...don't be. And if it happens, I promise I'll let you kick my a** in the next life.

We can only speculate on that. Look into the counter world of this. Each choice you make causes something different to happen. History has the same effect. I believe somewhere that happned. All the worlds are balanced. Okay i got off topic.\nI believe there would be no more u.s.a\n~Blessed be~

It seems so. The USA with the blessings from Pope and the backing of the Zionist Jews has been raising almost a crusade and claims that it would last another 40 years. It seems that till the last Muslim is killed the UK/USA duo will not live in peace. Oil could be the immediate gain but the ultimate target is annihilation of the Islamic community. It is also written in the Quran that by 2011 the Islamic community may be finished. But we pray for peace and China will hit the last nail into the coffin!

It would be nice if styles and mores reverted back to the 1950's, but I don't think they will.\n\nIran will probably nuke Jerusalem which will precipitate the total devastation of the muslim middle east and result in the subsequent reassignment of national borders in that region.  \n\nRussia will probably believe that they need to neutralize us before they destroy Israel to end further use of nuclear bombs.\n\nMost people think the "Cold War" ended hostilities between the uSA and the Soviet Union, but I'm sure THEY don't think so.  It's my bet nukes will fly and our coasts will be fried, but our inland areas saved by Patriot missiles.  We'll probably retaliate in kind, cause vast devastation over there, but they have so many bomb shelters, life will go on.\n\nThe results of all the nuclear fallout will replace "global warming" as the rallying cry for environmentalists and they will get the one world government they've always wanted, but they'll find out in short order that it's not the warm & fuzzy grandmother style nanny-state they'd hoped for.  \n\nChina will see all this as an opportunity to leverage their own power-play and they will burst upon the scene with an army of unprecedented size to take whatever land area they can.  \n\nIt gets bumpy from there.

Oh, you are so perceptive!  Yes, I think it is THE KEY.  For whatever reason, and rightly or wrongly, the Israelis are seen as the aggressors, and the USA is seen as the supporter of everything Israel does.  We give Israel more foreign aid than we give to anyone else, and the Arabs conclude that we could force Israel to do what we really wanted--therefore, whatever Israel does, the USA must be backing it.The Arab/Muslim world would not focus its resentment on us to the extent it does if there were a genuine peace in Palestine; and if there were peace there would be a chance of prosperity and jobs, and the lives of the Palestinians would not be so desperate that suicide bombing would continue to be a worthwhile alternative.  I think that 9/11 is the direct result of the continuing war in Palestine, and our penalty for our failure to differentiate the USA from everything Israel does.

Are you serious?Iran is the world's fourth largest oil-exporter.If the international community does anything to Iran the latter will stop exporting oil and then what do you think will happen to the world economy?It'll burst like a party balloon.And that's worse for the world isn't it?This whole is issue is politically motivated and once oil-prices start feeling the heat it'll all be sorted out amicably.Its all about the money my friend-noone gives a fu-k about whether or not our Yiddish friends are feeling secure down there.In any case Iran won't have the balls to stir up some nuclear bullsh*t with the Israelis-if they do Mossad will have Teheran levelled before you can say "Zionist Crusader"!

This isn't the first "End of Times" panic!  The ignorant masses are swept into a fervour by their spiritual leaders.  I believe this is a corrosive factor in humanity.  Whether it is religious rapture or Y2K, far too many people are just plain gullible.   What I see isn't really the end of times but a renewal of the dark ages.  Those in the dark remain in the dark and teach their kids there is no light.  The emergence of highly respected American Evangelist Zealots is very very disturbing and is leading to a new flat earth that the universe revolves around.

Yes, I do see the connection, friend.  Let me explain.\n\nI will say my opinions.  Be aware that this may frighten others so be considerate.\n\nIf anyone knows about the 150,000 troops, please state what will happen.  I didn't look into this one.\n\nFor the Palestinians and Israel going head-to-head on talks over the West Bank attacks, there's also the implication of recognition for Israel and the Beast who will deceive the world.\n\nYou may wonder who is the "woman that rides the beast".  The woman who rides the beast is the great harlot, the RCC (Roman Catholic Church), and the beast is the person that resides in the Vatican.  That person will come out of the Vatican to decieve the world, speaking blasphemies against God.\n\nFor Iran's nuclear situation, think of this.  I warn you, this is much bigger than you might think and may not be accurate due to newspapers changing every now and then.  With Iran, they deny they are building nuclear weapons but are looking at ways to negotiate than following a pre-conditional trigger.  Iran has nations on the talks, hoping to negotiate.  They are Germany, UK, France, US, Russia, and China.  The six-nation talks as you would have it.  Look at the bigger picture than this.  Russia (which is known as Megog), China (known as Gog, ally of Megog), are actually Iran's allies.  Think of the books that always provide heart-throbbing suspense.  China and Russia are pulling both strings, playing both as mediators and alliies.  Russia and China may say they want to negotiate but they actually want Iran to continue to build nuclear weapons.  Remember that Russia is nostalgic of the USSR and its heydays of bloodshed, repression, communism thanks to the democratic drawbacks.  For China, they see the alliance with Iran as a way to boost the imperial power of China's military.  On a side note, Russia is secretly building their military, expanding their force.  China, on the other hand, visits US bases to see exercises being conducted.  Why?  Because our US politicans want to see what China has in their arsenal.  Would China a.k.a. Gog do it?  No.  All it comes down to this is Megog and Gog are becoming ready for their attacks.\n\nSo, keep reading the Bible and checking with news.  The prophecies will be fulfilled as said in the KJV and I believe every ounce of it even if they have not come to pass yet.\n\nIf you are not saved, do so now.  Because once this all starts, and the national ID card comes out, Satan will come out like an angel of light, trumpeting.  Everyone will take the ID card and accept him as a god.  Then afterwards, there will be mass beheadings of people who resist the card that is required to buy or sell.  There will continue other seals.  But, anyone who asks to be saved by God, God will laugh in derision because you disobeyed Him and did not listen before He wreaked all His great wrath.  I'll list the websites in my source list so you can take a look at the seven seals and the End Times Prophecies.\n\nAll of this is not good for anyone who is not saved right now.  How to get saved?\n\nLet me enclose a piece of email that will help you.\n\n----------indiebaptist email-------------\n\nThe Way Of Salvation\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nAccording to God's Holy Bible, there is a place called HEAVEN and a place called HELL. The Bible tells us that every person will spend eternity in one of these places. God wants everyone to know the way to HEAVEN. The following verses from the Bible point the way . . .\n\n\nThe Reality of Sin\n\nThe Bible tells us that "All have sinned, and come short of the glory of God" (Rom. 3:23). This means that ALL have fallen short of God's standard, and missed the goal. My friend, this means, "There is none righteous, no not one . . . They are all gone out of the way . . . there is none that doeth good; no not one" (Rom. 3:10,12). The good deeds

There is an elite world-wide organization that is planning the destruction of up to 2/3 of the population to make the remaining 1/3 easier to control (Avian Flu? Super Volcano? WW-III in the Mid-East? take yer pick), and reshape the world into one governed body with them at the top. I never really believed this until it became too obvious to deny. Major policy changes all over the globe make no rational since unless you enter this concept into the situations. We can only hope that they will fight amongst themselves and destroy each other without killing the whole Planet. Or so I believe.

To all those looking at USA and hoping it goes down, please take note that if we in the USA go down we will not go down quietly. It is not our style. \n\nWe will almost certainly take down some large fraction of the rest of the world with us. That is not a threat or even a wish, it is just realism.\n\nHope for the USA to change? Fine, I'm with you. Hope for the USA to lighten/loosen up a bit on world affairs? I don't agree, but I understand why you feel that way. Hope for the USA to go down, to fall, to fail? You are asking for one whole pile of worldwide collateral damage. So watch out.

Hopefully not. I do however, believe we will witness a nuclear strike, terrorist or otherwise, in the not too distant future. I sincerely hope I am wrong about this second point but I doubt it.

gosh it seems like a lot of people are pretty skeptical about what you are saying but i am in agreement with you.  now i am not very knowledgeable on endtimes prophecies but i would not be completely surprised if Jesus' second coming were to occur in this age.\n\nWith that said, it is not for us to predict or prepare for the exact date of Jesus' second coming but every day we should live as if it were the last.

I think we are wary of muslams, it is a normal reaction to and action the way I see it. If 9/11 never happened it might be a differant story. But it did. I think to err on the side of caution is probably the right thing to do. Even though it probably doesn't matter who runs the ports.

Predicting the future is tough for mere mortals.  I'm going to guess that there will be a 3rd world war and that it will be quick and world ending.  Jury is still out on the whens and hows.
