I won't be a World War until a super power is introduced....we are both right

WWIII is most likely going to be US vs. China, but will be in economics since we're both smart enough to realize that a straight out war sux0r and both sides would lose.....*crosses finger* because wars really do suck.

That's almost entirely the only reason Tiawan is sovergn at this point. And, I could see China becoming a fully capitalistic state 50 years down the road.

Also keep in mind that having the nuclear weapon doesnt mean that they MUST use it, its just a threat. Like the US and israel, they dont need to use it, but we all know it's there.

THe bottom line is we arent sure what is going to happen, we are pretty close to a world war and we dont realise it, no one wants one even Egypt is telling Israel that they will get what they want. but if a war doesnt start Israel will again get what they want by violating internationnal laws. they again prove to be above the law and sooner or later that will come and bite the international comunity. we can't let a country act like that... the UN must stop it, and the US should not stand int here way. it is a fact that Israel is just going to far on this they have to be very carefull, and if the rest of the world dont stop them they should at least codenm them...
