To take just two examples of what we're facing in the Middle East, and I say we because all of us regardless of whether we support America in any way are targets for these groups.
You've got Iran who's leader and supporters and law makers are actively seeking nuclear weapons and who have publicly, explicitly and repeatedly called for a nation and all it's people to be wiped off the map; are one of the worlds largest state sponsors of terrrorist groups and are eagerly awaiting the immenent return of their messiah who will usher in Armageddon and it's man's duty to bring that on. That is dangerous. Granted there are plenty of people in Israel and America (over 40% if polls are to be believed) who too would like nothing more then to see this take place aswell, so perhaps faith and irrationality regardless of where it is located is the biggest threat to world peace.

as opposed to the USA who actually have nuclear weapons?
who actually are in a state of war just now?
state sponsors of terrorism? america invented that game. it's their state sponsored terrorism that has allowed iran to have such a regime....
and the god squad are in charge of the US too. don't think idiot politicians full of bullshit religious dogma is confined to the islamic world. god even talks to bush. i don't think i've ever read iran's top dogs saying allah speaks to them and tells them what to do?!?!?!
i don't hate bush, i actually kind of feel sorry for him and i did support him well into the iraq war but there's only so much you can let slide before you realise just how inept the man is.
i also don't hate the US. actually i love the place and most of the people in it so don't think that this is just an attack on the nation.
but as reality would have it, we're discussing world peace and at the present all that iran is guilty of is rattling it's sabre and POSSIBLY trying to attain nukes whereas the US is upto it's eyeballs in shit with regards to conflict.
