Poll: Americans Say World War III Likely
By WILL LESTER, Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON - Americans are far more likely than the Japanese to expect another world war in their lifetime, according to AP-Kyodo polling 60 years after World War II ended. Most people in both countries believe the first use of a nuclear weapon is never justified.

Those findings come six decades after the United States dropped atomic bombs on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The war claimed about 400,000 U.S. troops around the world, more than three times that many Japanese troops and at least 300,000 Japanese civilians.

Out of the ashes, Japan and the United States forged a close political alliance. Americans and Japanese now generally have good feelings about each other

But people in the two countries have very different views on everything from the U.S. use of the atomic bomb in 1945, fears of North Korea and the American military presence in Japan.

Some of the widest differences came on expectations of a new world war.

World War 3 *cough* " ... likely" ???

This is evidently one journalist who has not entirely been following the news. Most of the world knew the "enterprise" was definitely off to a thunderous start as we watched events unfold in NYC on our TV screens Sep. 11th, 2001.

Banking now on WW4 would be more like it

I'd say its a certainty. But between whom exactly?

[Derrek]

It'll be between the US and Canada.

We want your paradigm speakers!!!

I think it will happen in my life time.

From the same article:

[/quote]Six in 10 Americans said they think such a war is likely, while only one-third of the Japanese said so, according to polling done in both countries for The Associated Press and Kyodo, the Japanese news service.

I have no idea if it will happen in my lifetime because I don't know when I will die.

[Bulsajo]

I wonder if they polled the same Americans who thought that Iraq was behind 9/11...

I think people tend to respond positively to surveys. Some good looking reporter comes to you and says "Do you think World War III will happen soon?" ... well obviously the nice lady wants to put together an article about World War III ... you don't want to ruin her day ... so you say "Sure, dearie"

Strange, it's already started and nobody noticed? Casualties in Bali, UK, US, Iraq, Afghanistan... ...and how many countries in the Coalition of the Wicked? Granted, it's not exactly Shock and Awe 24/7, but there's no doubt it's a world war. (No caps on purpose.)
