Will there be a WW3 in the next 80 years?
In particular, do you think one or more countries is going to try take over several other countries? Will there be another Hitler in the next 80 years? The Norway guy and his motive is a very bad sign. But do you see an all out World War in the near future? Why or why not?

2. I kinda hope so, cause I don't think I'm gonna get my Star Trek future without it.

Gene Roddenberry set me up to fail.

3. Doubt there's enough oil or money left for WW III.
Future wars will be fought on horseback, and will be very local in nature.

8. Einstein might say, missed it by THAT much
I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.

6. No. But without laws, personal safety will be out the door.
There will be no WWIII because robots will selectively deal with people that in the past caused wars. The downside is that killer robots must be controlled by sane hands.

10. Will there be another Hitler?
I think Bachmann or Palin might match the job posting. Probably a few other GOOPers who fit the profile. You know, psychotics.

13. A world war wouldn't need another Hitler anyway
After all the first one didn't. (And if you define the term more broadly, neither did any of the others.)

15. Right
That question is in addition to the WW3 question.

14. If one has read "The Fourth Turning" and puts any credence in the observations ...
... I'd say we're only 10-15 years away from WW3.

18. I don't know about WWIII,
but I have no doubt this country is headed for another Civil War.
