Have to take issue with you there Rich, there are far flakier places with nuclear capability and idiots in power than the US. Wait till Musharraf dies or is deposed by Islamists.

I reserve my democratic right to wait until election day to see whether it's worth bothering or if the alternatives are more meritorious

Educated people don't start wars

The original question said nothing of wars, it was asking for opinions concerning threats to World Peace.

Neither of you can get off the soap box long enough for anyone to get any peace.

What kind of issues are there in Luxembourg?

Americans don't understand the meaning of the word peace. They think it means piece as in we want a piece of your country

I think Luxembourg is the biggest thread. The average level of rain in Lux increased to 102 mm / month. Since highstreams ( at approx 5 km above earth) have tendency to move more to the northwest, the Netherlands is expected to be hit with an aritmic rain increase of approx. 57 mm all coming from Luxembourg !!!!.

 

[KenHigg]

Sorry , I must be missing something. There's a threat to world peace in Luxembourg because they are getting too much rain?

 

[Brianwarnock]

Interesting that Russia is not in the list.
Do you not think that as Russia plays the energy card other nations may feel forced to act?

No, it's because we get all that sh*t from them. Finally our government will declare war to Lux , the two camps will be backed up by say India, china to lux and Russia and Monaco on our side et voila. I'm pretty sure US/UK will dive into this , but can't predict what side they will be on, probably the wet side.

 

[KenHigg]

Hum... Would you happen to have link to some additional reading/info on this issue?

So the river is polluted when it leaves Lux, the authorities in Lux claim it's because of too much rain, and everyone wants to kill each other over it? Can't the wonderful EU moderate?

I thought the word harmonization is more appropriate, but really , WW1 started with less
