Default What ever has happened has happened for good

This is my personal view and my first post in this forum.

I had always been thinking that World War was coming near. Because in the last 8 years some (developing & developed) countries got richer very fast and this started creating a unfair.

If financial crisis hadn't happened I personally believed that World War was near.

i might be totally wrong.

I dont no about the future but for now (5-8 years) there would be no big wars.

I dont have any knowledge about economics or anything related to that. But i always have one question regarding this.

What would happen if every country in this World would be a developed country?

The problem is look at the last cataclysmic decline the collective world experienced. The depression of the 1930s ushered in the conditions for World War II. Nothing will jump start an economy quite like a war. In fact, wars are very good at stimulating economies. You have to build stuff and then go and send it off to be blown up just so you can build more. Spending increases immensely, massive credit is extended, and people possess a nationalist ferver that makes them want to be productive in the manufacturing process.

In fact I would not be the least bit surprised if this is the final outcome of this financial eff up. I'm not going to say this will happen soon but we could very well see major war in the next decade if things do not improve.

War is Bull Sh*t. Either way I suggest you pick up a weapon
and fight whatever those sissy's in Washington see fit.
Bush or any other war monger or profiteer should lead us
into battle. The cowards hide while good folks die.

HAHAHAHAH, that is pretty true. Iceland is apparently "bankrupt" and is borrowing money.

Lets look at what war did to Japan in the 1940s on a economic side. They had two nuclear bombs dropped on two major cities and yet they are more advanced today then the U.S.A in technology and growth. Lets see how that happened they basically started from scratch and instead of making consumer goods 10 fold over capital goods like the U.S.A they choose to make capital goods 10 fold over consumer goods. This means that they where buying goods that could turn around and make capital or profit and not depreciate like consumer goods...... Their growth advanced and technology flourished.
