I am new here, but thought I might ask a question if anyone would like to respond :) "The Final Countdown", by Hal Lindsey. I would suggest you all read this book and provide some feedback into some of his ideas as to how WWIII might occur. Since is was co-written with an ex-head of US national security, you might find some of the insight interesting, especially how they suggest WWIII might go down in light of several recent political alignments in the Middle East. Sincerely, Randal.

Why the French blew up 2 US embassies in Africa: AFRICA IN TRANSITION Washington sets out to conquer "virgin territory" by Philippe Leymarie At the end of March President Bill Clinton will be making his first visit to Africa. Just as the ex-colonial powers are apparently retiring from the scene, at a loss to come up with any constructive ideas, the United States is starting to focus on the continent as one of the last virgin territories for US investors. If Nelson Mandela has set the pace in South Africa, there are plenty of other success stories in terms of political "reliability". As economies are growing, Africa is now ripe for integration into the US-style market economy.
