    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.


    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 .

    Have to agree. The Iranians have never attacked anyone in their history!

    As long as the Taliban are bogged down in Afghanistan, they won't take Pakistan.

    Why do you think we are there.

    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.

    America: spreading democracy with bombs and bullets whether you want it or not!

    Sounds like a good title for a movie!

    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.

    i.e. it takes two to tango

    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.

    Why does the pie-chart imply that Afghanistan has the most votes, even though the USA has the most ?

    Is Homeland Security pulling the strings and manipulating the truth again ?

    The biggest threat to world peace is the widespread criminalisation of cannabis, pornography, and polyamory.

    The biggest threat to world peace in my opinion is any either North Korea at the moment or any nation that could severely disrupt our financial systems.

    And I'm thinking in relation to disrupting our financial system that oil rich countries or countries lacking in oil reserves.

    So America or China, even though we benefit some what (and I suppose historically it will be seen as initially) from what is called Pax Americana.

    How come Ireland didn't make the poll? We might end up starting a war depending on how we vote :D

    How come russia didnt make the poll or get a mention? We never seem to get much reporting on russia, my most direct experience with russia was an mp3 site (Which i browsed only!) which had subtle anti-u.s. ads on it along the lines of 'let us take care of the mess.. We'll do it with a smile on our face.. God bless you' (what exactly this was referring to was not stated but world affairs was implied).. Not that i think they're the biggest threat, just deserve a mention in the hall of 'fame'
