Will there be a third wold war, and if so with whom?

It is already happening.  It's not a shooting war but an economic one centering on oil.  All the more reason the US needs to wake up and devlop alternate, domestically based energy sources.

it's highly possible\nWith the presence of US and Israel there, i think the beginning of third world war will be seen soon.\nBush's politics of invasion in Iraq, Afghan reminds us to what Hitler did in the beginning of WW II\nUS-and the past Nazi germany- invaded other countries, occupied it, tried to find reason for their illegal action, and could not be stopped by world peacekeeper organization (UN now and League of Nation in 1930s)\nAnd of course, the ownership of nuclear arsenals by israel makes the situation more complicated. Israel can intervene other country by help of their deadly warheads, where no other powers in the middle east has the same weapon (in east asia, two nuclear power are in balance, so no one can intervene other)

Found this article from just two weeks ago, explaining that although a sequel is highly probable, they're in preliminary talks at the moment so nothing is official.\n\nI can bet money there will be one.

It is a possibility but the consequence would probably be third world war. I hope that it never happens.

I don't think so, nobody wants war with Iran, because they have allies in China and Russia and that would be world war III

Killing a king may start a war, depends on the king i suppose.  If he's the war monger, then the war would probably end.

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

There is definately the possibility of 3 civil wars in the Middle East, but that is not the only problem, there also threatens a number of international confrontations. King Abdullah II is a very well informed man, much more so than any of the Western leaders could hope for, and his being in the region is a big help as well. \n\nThe three civil wars to which he refers all unfortunetly would be unlikely to remain civil wars if they were to begin. \n\nA civil war in Iraq would involve, short of a massive shift in policy, the US and most of the rest of the coalition. In addition, it is likely that in some aspect Iran and Iraqs other neighbours (Syria, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Turkey, and Kuwait) would have an involvment as all have vested interests in the outcome a civil war. Be they religious, economic, militarily or otherwise.\n\nPalestine errupting into civil war between Hamas and Fatah would almost guarantee levels of involvement from Israel (and probably the US), which would then draw in Hezbollah and its patrons (primarily Iran and Syria), which would in turn open the conflict up to virtually all the Middle East.\n\nAnd if Lebannon were to fall into civil war btw Hezbollah and the ruling govt then Israel would almost certainly seize its chance to attack Hezbollah, which would then bring Hamas in on the side of Hezbollah and it would spiral from there.\n\nAll three possible conflicts are inextricably linked. there is the real and plausable possibility that if one were to happen then the rest would domino into chaos as well. The other unfortunate side effect is that as each would involve outside influences and parties, it would no doubt become more than just a civil war.

I think there will be a WWIII

What are my ideas? Quite simple. He is going to be the reason another World War will happen. Already there is war in Iraq. If the Iranian President decides to attack Isreal, Isreal will strike back, causing probably Russia and Chian to attack Isreal, which then the US and Britain will get dragged in to fight Russia, China, and Iran. See since there are so many alliances in the Middle East, just like in World War 2, lighting the wrong fuse will cause a big bang that will escalate to World War 3.

it would depend on the circumstances of the war

As long as humanity exists, as long as the process of development goes on, as long as the quest for survival and the urge for superiority exists, wars will go on. No one knows about the third world war, but the fourth world war shall be fought be sickles and stones. We are really near to the Third World War.

Albert is pretty much on target. President Putin has said that the collapse of Communism was the greatest tragedy of statemanship in the history of the world, and he is working overtime to create the foundation of a totalitarian state.\n\nAs for WWIII, well, there was a time that a WWII was totally unthinkable. Also, while we the world's last superpower continue to borrow and spend ourselves into Third World status, China and Europe are not just sitting by and watching. Yes, there will be a third world war. With any luck, we will all be long dead before either the first shot or the actual bill for our excess comes due!

I fear we are on the verge of a war like none we have ever seen before. All the modern wars of the world combined into one gigantic battle is on the horizon. Nations are going to rise up against other nations who, at one point, were their allies. And within nations, groups are going to rise against other groups in unparalleled civil war. Allies will rise up to assist, only to turn on their comrades.

We are not going to have a WWIII anytime soon.  The polarization that affected the world in the 20th century is not present.  Democracies rarely if ever go to war with one another.  Since almost the entire worlds wealth is in 10 countries, all democracies, I do not see a political conflict ever arising.  The only wild card is China. When they do rise to economic and military prominence, there could be a destabilization of Asia.  If they also convert to a social democracy there will be no real threat of a world war.\n\nCulturally there is a war, between Jedo-Christianity and Islam.  The birthrate in European countries is so low that their Islamic immigrants will outnumber the original inhabitants of France, Italy, and Germany in 100 years.  The distinct differences beftween the cultures will have to blur or there will be another holocaust, which side will do it, who knows?  Remember Bosina-Herzogovina??  Orthodox Christians decimating and raping muslims to wipe them out.   If nations are pushed to the brink of extinction, they will use all means available.  Another cultural wildcard, India.\n\nNo one knows what will happen, I just hope that the Israeli-Palestinian confllict is resolved fairly and justly for both sides, that moderate and tolerant religeous leaders of all faiths prevail, instead of the fear and hatred that is growing all over the world.  \n\nI have hope, that with no facist or expansionist communist regime with any money or resources, our world will eventually learn to be at relative peace.

it's probable since both nations don't very much like each other and they do have a few skirmishes here and there but not enough to warrant a full scale war.  we should hope that these two nations keep the peace because they do have nuclear weapons pointed at each other.
