probably by 2012, one of the so-called 'red lines' in the sand.....probable date for an Iranian operational nuke...

war is not new.. and neither is the nazi idea of war.  the thirst for power will certainly always remain in the human mindset, and we will always have a need to keep that in check.

No, someone will get seriously hurt or killed then what do you know we'll have a WAR on our hands.

No... I would say that warfare of some kind or other will be being waged somewhere on the face of the planet for all eternity, but the likelyhood of a GLOBAL conflict has been steadily decreasing since the fall of the Soviet Union. I can't think of a plausible scenario for a full scale nuclear strike on or by anyone these days. The most likely scenario is that the U.S. will continue to engage in low-intensity "drive-by" wars like Afghanistan and Iraq. There will be other conflicts around the globe too but not a World War 3 per se.

There will always be world wars (if you're counting there have actually been nine, including the American Revolution, and the French and Indian War or Seven Years War depending on where you live) \n   There will be more world wars, as long as there are violent people on the earth, they just might not be labeled as such.

Pretty slim,  in future global war will involve nukes.  And that will go really fast.

The world is always at war, every day nations fight nations, there has been more conflict since the end of the WWII than any other time in recorded history.  So will everybody be fighting everybody at some stage in the future, defiantly yes, when will it happen - who knows.

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.

the reason why europe has been starting world wars is that they were the most advanced countries in the past and moreover europe being a congested continent with the countries so close to each other, they always had an issue with each other and with so many of them involved things used to become very tricky.\n\nanyways i think that the third world war would  not be started by europe.  it would most probably start from asia with the US playing a key role(not in positive sense)

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.

It really depends how you define "destroy the world" There will be a nuclear war. Most likley in the middle east. I don't think there will be a war that results in the total destruction of man kind. It is a sad state of affairs but I believe keeping nukes out of the hands of mad men is our best bet. Like it or not the best way to prevent these type of things is "Peace through superior firepower"

I doubt we will ever be invaded, at least not in our lifetimes.  Doesn't mean we won't have war on the homefront...ie...terrorism...but the likelihood of us being invaded is small.  We are the only superpower left in the world...we are geographically isolated...we have a massive population that are allowed to carry guns.  In the small chance that we were invaded,  the only likely contender would be China.  It's the only country that has a large enough military to mobilize such an attack.  But who knows...in a 100 years everything could change...if history is any example..(as I think it is)  we won't be a superpower forever.

Some people believe we are already involved in World War III.  It is known as "the war on terror".  I believe this is a sort of World War.  Believe that or not, if it gets much bigger, it definately will be World War III.

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

As long as mankind is around there will be wars.  If you are sick of it, lock yourself in a closet and don't come out.
