Which country poses the greatest threat to world peace?

With absolute certainty beyond any doubt without the mildest hesitation it is unquestionably and most definitely Switzerland.

I voted Israel - they are constantly starting wars which have much wider influences. Whilst the fighting may be in Lebanon or Palestine the ideology derived from the resistance movements in these regions is strengthened every time Israel attacks, and it is this set of ideas - of Jihad - that is the gravest threat to world peace.

United States is a close second. A declining world power trying to enforce claims to global hegemony with a right-wing (by global standards) political basis at home.

I'm surprised by the ranking of Iran - it might talk the talk about nuclear weapons but they know if they use one in a war the rest of the world would reduce Iran to a nation of shepherds looking after flocks of mutated and sick sheep.

That's the most logically inverted thinking I've seen in a while.

Why are Israel the biggest danger? Because the Islamist who pose a real world danger feed off Israel's wars of self-defence to gain more power to wreak more havoc. So why exactly is it Israel that poses the danger and not the Islamists (or Iran that backs them to the hilt?)

Because Israel is doing it on purpose?

China burns monastries. The US burns people and villages.

Ever been to Daramsalah?

Daramsalah:
Where China allows a bunch of secessionists, led by a scheming power-hungry monk to plot war and rebellion against China.

China has not bombed Dharamsalah has it ?

Either Pakistan or Saudi Arabia. These two 'Allies' (Yeah right) have probably the biggest supporters of Islamic extremism.

And to answer the question in the poll, I think Islamic Extremism is the number one threat to "world peace", with Russia, America and Israel tied at second.
