Poll question: Which nation is the greatest threat to world peace today? |
|
At the current place and time, which if the following countries, for any reason, do you believe are the greatest threat to world peace today? I'm excluding the U.S and Iraq, because unanimous polls are boring. And I'm sorry for not including Morocco/Algeria, Iran, and Indonesia/Malaysia/The Philippines, but I don't have that much room. Post an "other" response.

23. I wouldn't worry too much about China |
|
The Chinese communists may not like us but they know a war would hurt them far more than it would hurt us. Unlike the muslim extremists, they don't strike me as irrational.

3. Of those I'd say Pakistan, because Musharreff is the only thing between |
|
a real powder keg of nutball Islamic fascists and nukes.
If I were you I would replace some of the more irrelevant choices(the Stans for instance) with Iran and/or indonesia. With the arabian Penninsula are you including Yemen, Oman, and UAE?
That makes it a tough one and that would definetly be a close second if so.

They're a big bunch of hypocritical war mongering human rights abusers. And they've got WMDs.

21. None of those, really. |
|
I mean to World peace. Some of them are in little wars or might soon be. The US is the only nation that has that sort of global military scope, and even that seems problematical, given that we are bogged down in Iraq.

22. Leaving the USA out of this question is ignoring the elephant in the room |
|
We're such a pain in the ass, we have so much weight to throw around, and we lack the wisdom to restrain ourselves, that every other country is a minor player on the stage--they react to our belly flops.

24. Definitely the Saudis |
|
Their education system indoctrinates everyone to hate and they finance most of the terrorists in the world. The other countries in the middle east and south asia are only interested in blowing each other up while the House of Saud pays their nutjobs to blow up everybody, as long as they do it in other countries.
Q. What's the difference between Saudi Arabia and Yogourt? A. Yogourt has a living culture.
