United States president George Bush may have done more than just stir the proverbial pot yesterday when he was quoted threatening World War III, during a speech about Iran yesterday.

“A nuclear-armed Iran could lead to a third world war because of the Islamic state’s determination to destroy Israel.

If Iran had a nuclear weapon, it’d be a dangerous threat to world peace,” Bush said. “So I told people that if you’re interested in avoiding World War III, it seems like you ought to be interested in ensuring Iran not gain the capacity to develop such weapons.

I take the threat of Iran with a nuclear weapon very seriously,”

Strong words from a strong leader of the largest super power in the world.

I could barely believe it when I heard about it. Yes, there is trouble in the mid-east. Yes, we are already involved in a big war.

But World War III? Nuclear bombs?

Perhaps people need to pick up the National Geographic from June 1999 where post-bomb photos were published highlighting the skinless citizen masses of Hiroshima trudging through the rubble after a nuclear warhead exploded 1 mile above their city.

Melting everyone instantly at over 1 million degrees.

Well, I guess not everyone was melted at impact. A few made it, sort of.

That was the end to the last big war.

How a repeat of that nightmare will solve anything is beyond me.

Will we somehow get through a global nuclear war and all go back to our lives, finally the disputes and the fighting over?

Those that die will be the lucky ones.
