To do something on a scale large enough to affect world peace you can't be nonchalant or apathetic.

World peace will never occur as long as hierarchy exists. Almost all hierarchy is violent unless it is based totally on deception and bad faith, which is rare.

I disagree. The response is "I think he is the biggest threat," not "I think him is the biggest threat," so clearly the pronoun should take the nominative form, and thus be "who."

I've never been an English teacher, so you're probably right, but can you explain why?

Oh, sure, there's all the combat going on in the name of "terrorism", "freedom", and all that rot, but it is the extremists (Bin Laden, Bush, and many in our country and others) that keep this war going. :gundge:

To world peace, i'd say the US, as they're more likely to start a war abroad than anybody else. Several groups/countries are a greater threat to the peace of their own area, but not to somewhere else in the world.

Indonesia might be one to watch actually, I know that Australia is more worried about them than anyone else.

I don't necessarily think it's appropriate to place blame on a country, per se, but rather a country's attitude towards the world; thus, IMHO, the greatest threat to world peace is arrogance.

I think you misunderstand the current conflicts, it is not about religion but about American influence on their regions, thats American influence not Christianity.

The top two vote getters in this poll are America & North Korea, where is the religious conflict?

The fact is that religion gets used as a divisionary tool (to simplify, in a similar way as hooligans used football, no one blamed the sport did they?).

The truth is where there is war, there is politics.

War happens because of the belief that My Side is better than Your Side & therefore Your Side doesn't deserve their land, freedom, life.

This belief can include religion, (My Side is Christianity, therefore non-Christians have no rights), geography (My Side is anyone who lives near me, therefore Foreign Johnnies have no rights), or resources (My Side doesn't have enough stuff, let's go and pinch it from Your Side.)

It'll only be when everyone realises that we're all on the Same Side that we'll have peace.

You missed it? It was awesome! I can't believe you never knew?

We partied, celebrated, Santa appeares, even Jesus stopped by for a hour or two, he gave a long speech on how proud he was, but then someone got angry when drunk at a lamp and he said that this is war.

But the worst threat is people who can't say I'm sorry.

I think that the whole scenario in the middle east is a bit blown out of scale. The US should take care of business and not wait for the elections to be over. That's why the war is not completely over... "Junior" or G-DUB, The puppet... what have you does not want to have blood on his hands for the november election.

The Project for the New American Century, or PNAC, is a Washington, DC-based think tank of the United States. The group was established in spring 1997 as a non-profit organization with the goal of promoting "American global leadership." The chairman is William Kristol, editor of the Weekly Standard. Present and former members include several prominent members of the Republican Party and Bush Administration, including Donald Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz, Jeb Bush, Richard Perle, Richard Armitage, Dick Cheney, Lewis Libby, William J. Bennett, Zalmay Khalilzad, and Ellen Bork, the wife of Robert Bork. A large number of its ideas and its members are associated with the neoconservative movement. PNAC has seven full-time staff members, in addition to its board of directors.

The PNAC is quite controversial. Some have raised concerns that the project can be viewed as proposing military and economic domination of land, space, and cyberspace by the United States, so as to establish American dominance in world affairs (Pax Americana) for the indefinite future—hence the term "the New American Century." Supporters argue the project's aims and agendas are often misinterpreted, sometimes deliberately.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PNAC



Core views and beliefs

PNAC's website clearly states the groups "fundamental propositions":

"That American leadership is good both for America and for the world; that such leadership requires military strength, diplomatic energy and commitment to moral principle; and that too few political leaders today are making the case for global leadership.

In September 2000, the PNAC issued an 80-page report entitled Rebuilding America's Defenses: Strategies, Forces, And Resources For A New Century (http://newamericancentury.org/RebuildingAmericasDefenses.pdf). The report has been the subject of much analysis and criticism.

The group states that when diplomacy has failed, military action is an acceptable and necessary resort. PNAC advocates the installation of permanent military bases around the world for the establishment of a United States Global Constabulary. This global police force would have the power to keep law and order around the world in accordance with rules that the United States would establish as being proper and just. It also advocates the United States government should capitalize on its military and economic superiority to gain unchallengeable superiority through all means necessary, including military force.

The PNAC and its members had long called for the United States to abandon the ABM Treaty. The PNAC also proposes to control the new "international commons" of space and "cyberspace" and pave the way for the creation of a new military service - U.S. Space Forces - with the mission of space control. In 1998, Rumsfeld chaired a bipartisan commission on the US Ballistic Missile Threat towards advancement of these goals.

As long as the USA act according to the demands of the PNAC, the US are the greatest threat to all other nations and cultures.

I voted for France because when a country continually appeases countries which are known threats - like France continuously does - it's a threat. LACK of war does NOT mean peace. France and Europe appeased Hitler, and it got us World War II. France was fighting for years to lift sanctions with Saddam Hussein. Do you really think that Hussein wouldn't have had his weapons programs up and running if France gots it's way? Dr Germ wasn't in the government for eye-candy you know. France, Russia, Germany and China are up their eyeballs it seems with the Oil for Food scandal. No wonder they dodn't want us messing with their buddy Hussein.

As for the US being the largest threat to world peace - you guys are bunch of assholes. If it wasn't for the US the world would be all living under Soviet dictatorship. Europe and the most of the world didn't support our position during the Cold War either. Most Europeans hated and feared Reagan, feeling he was going to get us all killed in WWIII. Funny - the Soviet Union no longer exists. But Europe mostly wanted to appease them. They cringed when Reagan named them the evil empire. The world seems to think that if you don't get them upset they'll leave you alone and play nice. That is NOT going to happen - so I suggest some of you stop living in your little dream world.

If it wasn't for the US there would be people being beheaded in the soccer stadium in Afganistan - instead they now use it for what it was built for - to play soccer.

I meant a nation, and last time I looked Al-Auieda is not a nation, as for this, well it's a load of crap. yes, Hussain was a evil man but still we where lied to in the leadup to the Iraq war.

As for the whole us vs Solviet union stuff, the US did okay there, they did right in Korea, they shouldn't have gone into 'Nam though. But this isn't like that war, that was nation vs nation. This is completly diffrent, hardline polocys won't work here.

It's the German dictatorship one that cracks me up, if it wasn't for the British you'd all be under German dictatorship more like. The Americans wheren't as important as they thing. The solvets where more important.

dude, are you high? whatever you have been smoking pass some along and share, that must be good stuff.

If it wasn't for american goods and supplies Russia & England never would have made it through 1943. The british didn't have enough troops to retake France & without the second front Gremany would have crushed Russia.

now with that said, without the English bases America could never have gathered enough forces in one place to retake France & without the Eastern Front there would have been no hope of D-day working.

they were Allies for a reason

Hey King,

i have to agree with you. The World War 2 was won because of the allies and not because one state was better or stronger than other. You say the facts that show us what allies can do in a war.

I voted for Iran, because I see them as the most likely to use the nuclear weapons they have, and the most likely to sell their weapons to Al-Quieda or Hamas or any other similar terrorist organization. You think Israel is bad now? Just wait until those suicide bombers get some REAL weapons from Iran. 1 suicide bomber will be able to kill hundreds in 1 blast, and the Israeli "army" (translation: publicly funded terrorists) will retalliate even more, and before you know it, the U.S. and most likely others are at war with Iran while attempting to clean up Israel, and everyone's in a world of shit.

Theres never going to be world peace so long as countries are governed by a man made systamatic attempt to take away our political freedoms.Also, morality seems to be the cause for all human disagreements. Maybe people need to learn how to be a little more open minded eh?

World peace will never occur as long as hierarchy exists. Almost all hierarchy is violent unless it is based totally on deception and bad faith, which is rare.Dead right.

I don't necessarily think it's appropriate to place blame on a country, per se, but rather a country's attitude towards the world; thus, IMHO, the greatest threat to world peace is arrogance.I agree with your assessment, but without noting where problems lie, solutions aren’t likely.

As long as the USA act according to the demands of the PNAC, the US are the greatest threat to all other nations and cultures.The Monroe and Truman Doctrines are also a problem.

If it wasn't for the US there would be people being beheaded in the soccer stadium in Afganistan - instead they now use it for what it was built for - to play soccer.If it weren’t for the US, how would the Taliban have gotten into power? Or Al-Quaeda been trained, for that matter?

If it wasn't for american goods and supplies Russia & England never would have made it through 1943. The british didn't have enough troops to retake France & without the second front Gremany would have crushed Russia.If it wasn’t for American goods and supplies, the Nazis would never have gotten anywhere near as far as they did. In fact, taking Henry Ford’s backing out of the picture would have been enough to prevent Hitler coming to power.


The anti-French Americans can make their point by working to give back the Statue of Liberty. France, however, is far from docile as any former Bikini Islander or those aboard the Rainbow Warrior could tell you. Nothing is black-and-white.

No country is perfectly good or perfectly bad. Pretending that there’s nothing wrong with your country (or another one) is a good way to let fascism in the door. Ignoring history and the mistakes your country has made is the largest part of the problem. Powermongers trying something new only happens rarely.

well looking at these countries, I must admit, i could see only the USA threatning world peace.. Don't get me wrong, not anti-us, its just the other would not be more than a regional nuisance. Only the US would be able to do it globally.

Very excellent point.

Any idiot that says the U.S, the U.K or any western country deserves to be shot.

Personally I'd rather live in a relatively free society than one where a person can be stoned to death for committing adultery - Sharia law, I also believe that democracy, freedom and the rule of law are values that ought to be promoted.

No surprises there considering that the most powerful is always the most threatening- U.S., the New Roman Empire.

Not a surprise either that China isn't on the list.

What happened to the U.S. policy of isonlationism in the '30s? If they learned to mind their own business, they would sleep better at night, without tossing and turning, worrying about whether some suicase nuke had been sneaked into their country and counting down to detonation.

If the war on terror bankrupts the U.S. economy, only the Americans are to be blamed.

The biggest threat to world peace is the military Industrial complex

If there were no money to be made in war, then billionairs wouldn't be so eager to pay off politicians to award contracts for mega-corporations to build weapons. When capitalism is the driving ideology and there is a profit motive in war, then there will always be war.

Don't be so sure, the Ivans and their revolutionary conquests are just as warmongering.
