In my opinion, there is only ONE islamic country that we could make our ally, and that is Indonesia. For the following reasons:
A. We haven't invaded it yet.
B. They need economic help... and guess who is capitalist?
C. They don't hate america.
D. They are democratic.
E. They have less terrorists than the middle east.
Indonesia is islamic? I thought that country has a whole bunch of asian (oriental) people and usually they're budhist...
I think just about every country in the world hates America

Especially if they're senseless leaders who tortures their own people just for the hell of it.

This has been going on since the Panama Canal. We are known as the "World's Police"

I agree with you on that part. But we should have started pulling out right after we had done that. Not all the way out, just should have started bringing our troops back home, instead of keeping our military persence in there....
I don't think there will be a WW for quite some time. And if it does happen soon it's because of Korea's crazed dictator. But if it doesn't happen for a long time, it won't happen for hundreds and hundreds of years... And it mite not be a WW, it might be a Planetary War....

Theres nothing wrong with that. If lived in a country with a Dictator who killed people for fun and tortured people and tested weapons on his own people, I would want another nation to come over and help me.

Indonesia is asian, correct. But that doesen't mean its buddhist. And FYI, ASIANS ARE NOT USUALLY BUDDHIST. Hell, Buddhists make up a small percentage of the population, a sizeable amount but still a small percentage of Asia. Goddammit. Why the stereotype?
And Chris, no offense, but what if the nation that came and helped you made things worse, huh?
Ur right, asians aren't always buddhist (like me. Infact most asians i know in my area are christians), but of all the possible religions (christianity, atheism, agnosticism, etc) I didn't really expect them to be muslim
MA, we're talking about real Asians, not those that live in America. A large percentage of the people who live in the Far East and not in China are Buddhist. Communism bans religion though.
Communism is pretty much dead now, except for North Korea. But many asians there are non religious (and I dont know if they're called Atheists or agnostics because I doubt half those chumps there even know what a "God" is)
WHAT ABOUT CHINA?!? It's communist and it's one of the superpowers, lets not forget Cuba also.
Yea I'd say even if China was the only communist country it would still not be dead at all, since china is a big country with BILLIONS of people living there.
Uh guys, communism in china kinda died out... What did you think would happen after the tiament square incident?
Well what is their government like now? Aren't they still a communist party? And Taiwan is it's own country is it? Or is it part of China, and what government does it have?
Well ok they're still SOMEWHAT communist, but not hardcore or w/e to the point where they'd ban religion or own all businesses.
ADDITION:
So North Korea is the only HARDCORE communist asian country out there. I'm not sure if there are any hardcore communist countries in other parts of the world
Aren't people in North Korea not allowed to even leave the country? And all the media in their is controlled by the government, and we only get pictures of what the government wants us to see? Like they make the people look happy just for the media, even though they may not be. But don't they also take education very seriously there too?
Yup North Korea is that bad. I remember some people were comparing Saddam Hussein and the Dictator currently in charge of North Korea (forgot what his name was).
They say Saddam's life/values/goals are what they are mainly because of his religion: Islam. Whereas This chump from Korea is just... mentally retarded.
Jim Jong II or something like that

Then that would suck, but I would know it takes time for people to change. Being in a country for only a couple years wit fighting sitll going on isn't making much progress. I would know that things will get better, I would just have to be patient. Plus if I was living in a country that bad, anything would probably be better then things under the dictator.

USA Vs Russia (I think first one more though
US will go against Russia if they become communists again. It's most likely US will go to war again China since their communists. I bet we'll get our asses kicked because of China's massive army. But, we'll kick Russia's asses though.

5,000,000 years of Nuclear Winter occurs, I'm guessing only about .2% of humans will survive once the nuclear winter is over.
How can humans survive a Nuclear Winter for 5 million years? By then, Humanity will be dead.

They'll find a way, plus humans will probably evolve to adapt to the winter, AND I bet theres thousands of miles of underground bunkers with food for over a hundred years and places where you can grow food underground for important people like government officials.

That would cost more than billions of dollars to build even after Nuclear Winter started, it'll take a lot of people to build it, without construction builders, and also, if humanity build underground bunkers thousands of miles, it'll be hard to build, and also they'll be basicly look like caves and also, won't humanity need some type of lighting to see and move around? How will humanity grow food underground? Doesn't growing food require the sunlight too? Water will be infected with nuclear radication. Nuclear survivors will be infected with nuclear radication too.
EDIT: Fixed spelling errors
I believe we have these light bulbs or something that we can use on the plants to act like the sun. and why would we lose to china? In WW2 Japan had more men during battles then America did and we still won. When China went to war with Japan in WW2 Japan kicked China's ass. So what if China has 1 billion man army, we just need 2 billion bullets.
China didn't have a million-man army before WWII. You need to understand the effect of the Age of Imperialism (1840-1914) on China before you go making statements like that.

No, if a nuclear war happened, humans would be extinct, along with 96% of species on Earth. Life would continue though. It's not likely that anyone will actually use the nukes, because this would happen:
End.Of.Ze.WorldHopefully, WWIII won't happen. But even if it did, I doubt it will take place on American soil.

I hate to break it to you, but it already has. Yeah, it ended about 60 years ago. Sorry?
May I add my own predictions if WW III were to happen? Everyone on Earth dies!
