World War Three?

October 18th, 2007

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.
