It's a chain reaction.

1. India vs. Pakistan
2. China joins vs. India
3. Taiwan declares independence as Chinese army marches away to Tibet, starts China vs. Taiwan on another front.
4. USA joins Taiwan vs. China
5. China attacks US bases in Japan. A few years ago Phillipines would probably come in here but now now.
6. N. Korea attacks S. Korea as US is distracted.

The goal of the exercise is to involve as many countries as possible. Logic is secondary (although wars aren't usually logical )

yes, logic seems to be absolutely devoid in this construction, i hvae to say... won't happen.

Israeli nuclear retaliation is unlikely, even if attacked by chemical or biological weapons.

First, most of the chances are that the missiles will be shot down on their way to Israel.
Second, even if the missiles land, the warheads are still quite primitive. So, while damage will be caused and tens of people will die, it wont be on mass scale.

After this, Israel will most probably join the war but still use only conventional weapons. Maybe, some not too effective bio-chem weapons will be used.

What would Israel's reaction be if Saddam landed several hundred pounds of anthrax on Tel Aviv? Just a few grams of that stuff can kill thousands.

I still believe in the relationship:

IQ up = Common Sense / Conscience down.

American forces bomb Baghdad. Baghdad retaliates with Chemical weapons on..Israel.

That would require some SCUDs, which have all been destroyed. No way is what's left of his airforce getting through to Israel to drop chem bombs, if he even has any, which is highly unlikely. UNSCOM destroyed them all and his means of creating and his technical knowledge base for making them.

Taiwan has this nasty little habit of being a democracy, something which still ties it in very closely with skorea and japan...

That's a recent trend, not a habit.

if you want to nitpick, skorea wasn't a democracy until recently, and japan until recently was a one-party state...

It is thought there are still two to three dozen mobile scud launchers in Iraq. I don't like Bush but it he's got an interesting idea here. Iraq says it has disarmed as it agreed to in the treaty which ended the gulf war; Bush says they haven't. By restarting the fighting Iraq qill have to use its weapons thus proving that Bush was right and the Iraqis have been lieing all along.

IIRC, Syria is the country with an large launcher-to-missile proportion.

A scenario of nuclear war (satire ):

United Staes declares war on Iraq
Iraq retals on Israel and hosts terror acts there
Israel nukes Iraq (at least we've got pretext to do that!)
Pakistan nukes Israel (we won't tolerate such attacks on Islam!)
USA nukes Pakistan (we will die but we will defend Israel!)
China nukes USA (WTF?! You are nuking our allies?!)
India nukes China (Well, USA helped us to do what we always wanted but didn't did. So, don't nuke them!)
Russia nukes India (PR of China, once created by once ally Mao! It is a shame there is no China anymore! Catch that, Indians!!!)
Great Britain nukes Russia (Long live the queen!)
France nukes Great Britain (We do what we always wanted to)
Aliens nukes France (No, there won't be any nuclear countries in Earth anymore)
God nukes Aliens (Bad, bad ones... Why always when I create the universe everything ends up this way?)
Allah nukes God (...because I can create a better universe!)
Allah nukes himself (There are no more believers, no more ones who'll die for me - time has came to commit a suicide)

Speaking of nuclear weapons, but why didn't anyone, anywhere in the galaxy, use nuclear weapons in battles in the Star Trek or even the Star Wars series?

Maybe they were too pathetic to be useful in the 23rd century? I know humans, Vulcans, and Klingons all had nuclear wars at some point in "history".
