Hi all,
This question has been posted on another forum that I am a part of, and I thought I'd ask the same question of you lot here...
Since the war in Afghanistan is drawing to a close (What with British troops scheduled to pull out by 2014, and a 'surge' of 33,000 US troops leaving today).
The question is: Where will the next conflict zone be?
Although impractical and nonsensical, my answer would be, hopefully nowhere else, anywhere, ever.
But, seen as in all of recorded history there has never been more than 200 years of peace between us humans, conflict is somewhat (regrettably so) inevitable.
So, where to next? Will the Americans (and Obama) follow through with their (his) threats to Iran? What were they, somewhere along the lines of "Stand down, or else?"
Or are the Israelis more likely to make the first move on Iran and Ahmadinejad? (They were supposedly behind the assassination of that Iranian nuclear scientist and his wife)...
The consequences of such direct action by the Israelis might be... what exactly? Iran's response would no doubt be swift (depending on how much Israeli fighters destroyed on their initial phases of invasion), and ignite a war in the region. What would be the world's response to this?
Let me know your thoughts...
Cheers...
Hawky.
