Re: But I happen to agree that the current Middle East situation and Iraq war carry realistic risks of causing the World War III. Agreed. I'd even venture to say that the incipient war against Iraq carries the risk of a nuclear showdown.... I mean, the Iraqi military won't surrender without a fight and that entails heavy losses for US troops. Besides, although the US will likely control Al-Jazeera's war coverage (Al-Jazeera's but a CIA sting), other Arab media will broadcast Iraqi-stamped footage anyway. Furthermore, you shouldn't underestimate the frustration of other, powerful countries... that have the capacity to provide Iraq with satellite pictures of your ground troops/facilities. If Scud missiles keep hitting you bang-in-the-middle, don't chalk it up to mere luck.... At that point --probably about the start of the 2004 election campaign-- the White House may mull over the idea to cut its losses with a few nuclear blows.... Gus
