Is World War III Approaching?

Recently, the President said when talking at a news conference about Iran. “We got a leader in Iran who has announced that he wants to destroy Israel,” Mr. Bush said at a White House news conference, referring to a remark by the Iranian president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, that Israel “will disappear soon.” Mr. Bush said he had “told people that if you’re interested in avoiding World War III, it seems like you ought to be interested in preventing them from having the knowledge necessary to make a nuclear weapon.”

This was just at best one of his more stupid statements. He was once again using his old reliable tactic--the Fear Card. Unfortunately, it works. The American people are so afraid of the nuke thing that it is used to sell them on ALL military actions in the past couple of decades. It was used by George I as a way to sell the action of Desert Storm. It was used by George II as a pretense to go into Iraq, again. It is a very useful tool when selling the American people on military action. Americans will accept it without reservation.

A lot has been said about his statement, but the part that few speak of is the fact he said it while chuckling and smirking. What kind of megalomaniac talks about a possible WW III while laughing? Did it miss something? Is a possible world war a joking matter? Maybe to someone who would profit from the war, but not to "normal" Americans.

I just cannot understand how Americans can look at this clown and give him the power to control the world. It amazes me, the stupidity of the people.
