I predict a nuclear war within 20 years.

[RethugAssKicker]

With the outrageous behavior and philosophy of countries which adhere to Western religions (Christianity, Islam and Judaism).. it is bound to happen... Too much ignorance exists in these 3 religions, (which to me are all basically the same)... They all believe in doomsday, and other apocalyptic happenings... and with the awesome military power they currently have(or soon will have for the Islam states)... it is absolutely inevitable..... given the hatred and unbelievable ignorance these people possess.

What do you guys think?

4. I 2nd that!

8. Same here

The best we can hope for is a limited exchange between two belligerents outside the nuclear "club."

India and Pakistan no longer seem likely to be the ones, since both have considered just what damage to their populations even the handful of nukes each side has would do.

If it looks like this country will become involved in one, I intend to follow any warnings, drag a comfortable chair into the back yard, and watch the show (I'm a mile from an air base). I do not intend to live through it.

2. I had to read that twice. I thought you said "20 mins."

On the other hand, I wouldn't be surprised at EITHER outcome. People are whacked! What happened to the belief that people are inheritantly good. We have sooo much money, we could be in such great shape.

3. If it were to happen, it would happen sooner or later.

The only muslim country with nukes is Pakistan, and they're our ally, and they've only got a few of them.

The only way to prevent such a war, like it or not, is through M.A.D. Which is why Iran and other countries are desperately trying to build nukes.

5. they are all the same

they're all too willing to kill one another over trivial points of orthodoxy or semantics

they are all sky god death cults

[FreedomAngel82]

6. I wouldn't be surprised

Especially with Bush and his gang's actions as of late. Lots of people are hating us now.

7. If it happens, it will be in the East

At some point, something bad may easily happen with India, Pakistan, China, North Korea, and South Korea.

The West stands to lose too much money.

9. I'd like to express my thoughts on this with a song...

We'll meet again, don't know where, don't know when
But I'm sure we'll meet again some sunny day
Keep smiling through, just the way you used to do
Till the blue skies chase the dark clouds far away

Now, won't you please say "Hello" to the folks that I know
Tell 'em it won't be long
'cause they'd be happy to know that when you saw me go
I was singing this song

We'll meet again, don't know where, don't know when
But I'm sure we'll meet again some sunny day

Yes, we'll meet again. Darlin', I don't know where and I don't know when.

But I KNOW we'll meet again one of these good ole sunshiny days. Ya know, darlin', all ya gotta do is just keep on smilin' through you know just like you ALWAYS do, until the blue skies chase the dark clouds far, far, far away.

I wantcha to do me a favor, please say "Hello" to all
the folks that I know. Well, just tell 'em it won't be long. They'd be happy to know that when you saw me go, I was standin' right here, singin' this song.

We'll meet again, don't know where, don't know when
But I know we'll meet again some sunny day
