OK. So lets see; USA and Britain attacks Iraq and it's not going too well.. Who, taking advantage of this situation,
can attack someone else? Imagine! I'd like to see your vision.

Middle East! -
Israel will not go nuclear unless, by some miracle, Saddam has nukes and launches them against Israel. There WILL be a response from Israel, though, if attacked.
The biggest danger, as I see it, is that an attack against Iraq may lead to huge amounts of civil unrest in the ME. You could well see some revolutions/civil wars, none of which is going to make life any nicer for Israel or the US - or anyone else, for that matter."The French caused the war [Persian Gulf war, 1991]" - Ned

i say we "rock the middle east" with tomahawks until the rocks become gravel. Ousting saddam is a good idea in my opinion.Originally posted by leftover_crack
Well are you on of those "Dont rock the mideast boat" guys grrr? Are you actually aware of the consequences of pulling back from our threats ?
yes, i saw him, and yea he appears intelligent. wouldn't you agree that hitler was intelligent? bin laden seems intelligent as well.btw. Saddam has a higher IQ than bush. Ever seen Saddam get interviewed? Some of the 80's/pre gulf war interviews? Hes a smart dude
thats the thing with being evil. if you're a good person, you could be as dumb as a brick and get noticed. How smart was Mother Teresa? When you're evil though, if you're a moron you don't get noticed at all. Intelligent Evil people gain ranks until they reach NOTORIOUSLY EVIL. Saddam's about there now.

Hmm...I can set up a big war in Asia (China/Pakistan/N. Korea vs. US/India/Japan/Taiwan/Phillipines?/S. Korea) but I'm having trouble tying the Middle East into it.Comment

Heh. Yeah, who cares about Taiwan? I mean, they're just a sh*tty little wanna be democracy now, complete with fist-fighting legislators.Originally posted by Grrr
I think America would be stupid enough to attack China if China decides to attack Taiwan.
But, hey, China claims Taiwan for itself and, God forbid, the world actually do something should China use military force on Taiwan. We wouldn't want to upset that potential powerhouse market of 1.1 billion people, would we? So sorry, Taiwan, but in the greater scheme of things (and in realpolitik), you're just the fly in the soup.

The world ends in 2012, so there is still a long time for the war to develop. Iraq is just the first step...

Taiwan
There are lots of computer related industries in Taiwan. If Taiwan is attacked, we won't have VIA chipsets and MSI mobos anymore. Prices will rise and computers won't develop anymore, and so China will be as advanced with computers as western countries are now.Originally posted by Gatekeeper

Bush needs some pretty damn convincing evidence to attack Iraq. Whenever he chooses to show, then we will see how the American people respond.

I think other nations would be stupid to try to appease the Chinese militarists. You have to prevent dominant nations from militarially annexing weaker ones. I'm all for the big guys kicking the pip squeeks around but not annexing...Originally posted by Grrr
