Recently the American Congress carried out a research which concluded that, in the nearest 5 years, terrorists will try using a nuclear or biological bomb.

Pakistan is considered to be the main source of potential attack. The target could be either USA or any other world country. The research states: "If the world powers don't interfere and take actions, it's quite possible that in 2013 weapons of mass-destruction will be used".

Should USA continue its policy of controlling possible conflict regions, such as Iraq, Iran, Pakistan? I mean on one hand it's bad, because innocent people don't like it, on the other hand, I think we all feel safer.

And do you have no doubts? I mean same old good USA who were scaring with Sadams WMDs are now scaring with other possible treat? Would it also disapear in unknown direction or just reaper in other regions were US have interests?

It's all fine and cute but... terrorists a usually unhappy people that want revenge for something that they think is really unfair... The goal is to make all these people happy... trying to stop them by force will only make the situation worse in the long term...

Well if nuke submarines keep crushing under water, I don't even doubt the war is close. I'm talking about the accident that took place between the French and British submarines.

I see the nearest possibility of nuclear war emerging from the conflict between Iran and the US. Iran keeps developing uranium, and the international community can do nothing about it.

so who is exactly is "us all" in your statement? Would you feel safer if more innocents were killed? ALL WAR IS EVIL, no terrorist can match the killing power of your nation. YOU are the terrorists, YOU have killed more children then any "terrorist" but your education limits your ability to question your media and elected offical's motives and politcal agenda. Conventional wisdom tells me that your anger will cloud your ability to absorb this useful information. Your military and most media outlets are owned by the same parent companies and even your public education system is privatly owned. You are perfectly safe at home and your job unless you work for an organization that profits on the suffering of others (in which case fuck you). The image of the world beamed through your television screen is false. Stop being afraid of ghosts

Dear forumguest, be polite please.
Today N. Korea launched a long-range rocket over Japan. The international community is worried, because it is considered to be an experiment that includes nuclear testing.

The regime of Kim Jong-il said the launch had successfully put a satellite into orbit. But both the U.S. military and South Korea said nothing had entered orbit.
