Well, President Bush certainly got the media’s attention with his “World War III” comment from yesterday. As of around 11AM today, there are 2790 articles on Google News.

Barack Obama brought it up on the Tonight show last night as well:

Commenting about Bush, but putting joking aside on a serious manner, Obama responded to the use of word choice by the President of “World War III” when referring to the threats of a war Iran.
“Using language like that … it alienates the rest of the world. I hope the President will be a little more sober and responsible in the language he uses because this is not helpful.”

So, exactly what would Senator Obama call it if Iran caused (probably through a terrorist proxy) a nuclear detonation inside Israel, because that’s what President Bush was talking about. Is it that hard to believe that Israel would respond in kind? And what exactly would be the response of the entire Arab world when Israel nukes Tehran? Again, it’s not hard to envision that you’d have Israel and the US against the entire Middle East, if not the entire Muslim world. If that’s not a World War, I don’t know what is.
