Just wondering if the famed WW3 might be knocking if Israel and Iran decides to square it up provided some country decides to support the battering of Iran by Israel...are we expecting this?

No, I don't think so. It's what we call "Mutual Assured Destruction." If Iran or anyone in the Middle East attacks Israel then the US/Britain/et c are likely to come up to defend them. If Israel attempts to attack Iran then Iran's allies in the Middle East will attack Israel. Neither side wants to be attacked, so as long as leaders are rational no side will attack first and risk a larger counter-attack.

i dont think we are on the brink of world war 3. if israel attacks iran, i am not sure how southeast asia and latin america will get involved. it will be limited to that part of the world. who will side with iran? who will side with israel? it will be very damning if one country gets involved in this. unless one uses an atomic bomb, then further use will be prevented by the global forces.
