This WWIII Thing has been waiting to happen for a while. Possibly about 20 Years or so (Numerous 1980's 2000's Wars) worth of wars. We are all expecting it, it's not like there is not going to be a WW3. Basically it's every countries (who are involved in the Iraqi War) fault. The UK, USA, Iraq, Iran etc. Especially since the war has extended to Pakistan.
I do not give a sh*t about Al Qaeda because we all know something is going to happen again soon in the UK or USA. I think both countries are actually expecting it.
