I beleive that another world war is imminent - although I beleive the battle lines have not yet been fully drawn - and when it does happen, I don't beleive everything will be as clear cut as everyone expects. Will Europe side with the US? Where will Russia stand in the new order of things? There are many questions, but I beleive that there is one obvious thing: The war will start in the Middle east. The most likely place for the epicentre of a World War (in the current climate) would be Israel, I think - the only real 'western' siding nation in the middle east, surrounded by purely Islamic nations. I also beleive that when we do go to war, propaganda (especially anti - Islam propaganda) will be used to great effect by the media. The way I see things, both Europe and America would be prepared for war with the middle east, but I can imagine that pehaps they might even end up fighting each other for things like oil and land in the midlle east - America has gotten way too big for it's boots, and Europe has only really just recovered from the reeling effects of WW2 - a war in which america lost very little and gained much.
