    George bush labelled Iran, Iraq, and North Korea as the axis of evil. The "rogue states" label was often used liberally in the western media to catergorize countries such as North Korea, Libya , Pakistan, Iraq , Iran , Cuba Syria, Sudan and Afghanistan

    Iran poses zero threat to world peace, they would never in a million years attack Israel /America , because that would be a complete death warrant!

    just because all these countries dislike everything America stands for, does not mean they are a threat to "world peace" !

    I really believe it, they are aggressive when it comes to Taiwan and they are claiming a number of disputed Islands of Japan. Sino/Japanese relationship is at a low at the moment, Japan is rearming but North Korea have a hand in that to.

    China are also building offensive weapons like stealth Bombers and aircraft carriers, this could kick start another arms race. They are also gathering a bigger interest in Africa.

    This is just going to turn into a list of countries people don't like, with a few obscure ones thrown in for attention and with no reason given as to why.

    Difficult to say which country is the biggest thread to world peace IMO. I assume there would need to be more factors than just a country. There are some extremely volatile places on that list, no doubt, but not powerful enough to affect peace on a global scale. I'm not part of the "I hate America" brigade at all, but given how powerful it is on the world stage, and its interference in foreign policy (justified or not) I don't think it's unreasonable to include it.

    Any nation where the men wear skirts, eat battered mars bars and like the sound of strangled cats must be a threat to world peace.

    They have nukes as well.

    Yes I agree with your points but China/Taiwan is a historical problem between the two of them and don't forget the USA is involved too but in fairness USA isn't the bad guy in it, She only offers protection to Taiwan. I can't see any major problem between the two of them, As long as the politicians involved are aware of the risks war will bring.

    Japan and China should be alright as war would create much more problems for both of them.

    At least the Chinese haven't left a devastated Africa like the old European powers did.

    There have been some serious provocative economic and political sanctions forced on Iran , unjustified by many, with has resulted in alot of tension around the globe .

    America. They have the most power and a voracious need to maintain the status quo at any cost. They can hardly respond to sabre rattling with 'Ah now lads that's not very nice is it?'

    If we Irish weren't so damn charming and ancestral, we'd be feeling America's wrath if we didn't keep in line.

    Surinam. They are partially responsible for 2 unlimited and anyone who truly believes that Theres no limits has to be a threat to world peace.

    World Peace is a misnomer due to the current evolutionary stage of our species.

    See here for details

    On a lighter note, it is clearly Scotland. They are so obstinate even normal round sausage was not good enough for them.

    which ever country with nuclear capabilities that provokes USA could be regarded as the biggest threat to world peace, Russia for example.

    We?

    Afghanistan is lost btw.

    It was truly lost whenever resources were diverted to Iraq in a vain attempt to fulfil the fantasies of neocon chicken-hawks.

    It was a half-arsed job from the start anyway.
