A report in this mornings Guardian states that British believe Bush is more dangerous than Kim Jong-il

Who do you consider to be the biggest threat today and why?

In my opinion, the biggest threat to world peace is the unjust distribution of goods and the exploitation of the economically weak by the economically powerful. Not the mere income difference enrages people but the way they are treated, which is far from fair and equal. The moment we have fair exchange and exploitation is replaced with good will, things will improve. If this happens at all, that is.

 

I read the article this morning, and I have to admit I did have a good laugh when I saw the title.

Frankly, my list of people who are a threat to the world is a rather long one, but both Bush and Kim are somewhere at the top, along with that other lovely fellow Ahmadinejad. Now which of the 3 is more a threat... when you're considering such a scale it really doesn't matter.

 

The biggest threat to world peace: the human race. Competition is in our blood, whether it's the outright aggression of testosterone or the intricate backstabbing of estrogen. (Note: this is NOT a male-female thing. It's more along the lines of what people with those hormones do. A guy with a lot of estrogen will favor the subtle approach, and a female with a lot of testosterone will favor the direct approach.) Humans have an innate need for conflict, and conflict is what we shall always have.

It's not about evil, it's about aggression and competition. Evil just makes it easier.

 

Barnie.

 

I'll take 'loaded questions' for a thousand, Alex.

 

Bush, without a doubt, is more dangerous to world peace than Iran, North Korea, Venuzuela or Cuba.

 

Christopher Walken is quite clearly the greatest threat to world peace this world has known, or ever will. He has already taken the first step towards his ultimate goal. His eeeevil plan for world domination has already begun. http://www.walken2008.com/

 

It's not George Bush as he only has two years left to make mischief (not to mention the fact that more often than not it's unjustified incrimination that he recieves).

 

You mean he didn't intentionally lie about Iraq having connections to Al-Qaida? (It can be proven he did by reading transcripts of his own speeches which are hosted on his own website) Or that he didn't actually lie to the entire world about WMD in Iraq to use it to perpetrate an unjust war with no plan for exit and no strategy for keeping the peace? (Too many members of the intelligence community have come out now for anyone to deny this one anymore.) I could go on, but I'm tired. The accusations against Bush aren't baseless.

 

IMO?? Bush and his war mongering administration...

 

In my opinion its the USA thats the biggest threat, not Bush alone. I mean over 50 percent of the country DID vote for him.....twice. And even if North Korea has nuclear weapons, the US is the only country who has actually used weapons like that on people.

 

@Rawgrim: True...but then again as I understand, the elections in which Bush won have been some of the dodgiest in the history of the US.

Besides, I didn't have nearly as many issues with the US administration when Clinton was in charge...

Edit: Typos...

 

The president of the most powerful country. Currently that is Bush. If Iran had the power that USA possess I would say Ahmedinejad. But they don't have enough power to attack and invade wherever they want yet. Besides my mom says Ahmedinejad is more handsome than ugly Bush. I agree with her too. If my country had the military power of USA then president of Turkey would be the greatest threat.

 

Not at all. Even the statement that "half of the people who voted, voted for him" is wrong. With the way the US electoral system works, you don't need a majority vote to win, you just need to win in certain key states. Which is how Bush won in 2000 (and only because one of those key states he considered as having won, Florida, he didn't win at all. Even the supreme court (most appointed by his father a decade before) admitted there had been a miscount, but they decided not to do anything about it)

 

The real answer is complicated and nobody is a big threat on his/her own. But if you just want a simple name, it is absolutely Bush.

 

Interestingly enough, Bush got a higher percentage of votes the second time around after the people had seen what he'd done. I guess it probably is just that his competition was even crappier...

I really think Ahmedinejad is probably the biggest threat to world peace as of now, quite simply because after listening to several interviews of him I've come to the conclusion that... he's crazy. Which is made even worse because he is indeed a very charismatic individual.

In the long term though, I don't think what anyone in power right now is going to have influence that will be notable on the scales of past uses of power.

 

Not necessarily. There is a substantial percentage (something like 15%) of Americans who always vote for the incumbent.
