Again though, one madman typicaly doesn't have many powerful allies, espicially after unprovoked attacks.

I also agree that the Israeli military are terrorists, they seem to diliberatly try to get Palestinians to attack them to get global support.

You misunderstand, I have no doubt that, in general, a nuclear war would be a bad thing. And yes I don't really want the earth to be a wasteland. However there could be times where a nuclear war can be justified.
Also you say every country will be in it, however, once major countries start chucking nukes around many minor countries without nukes will suddenly become very neutral. Also as only 10 or so countries have a great deal of nuclear weapons they will be very careful not to attack one another.
i.e. I can see the US or Israel nuking Iran but I cant see China, France or Russia taking enough offense to nuke the US back
The nuclear fallout of any attack would almost certainly reach over a great many countries. Just one nuclear attack would have to involve more than 1 country. The likelihood of their being the right conditions for it not to affect more than 1 country is very slim

Obama. Mainly because the idea of Sarah Palin being president is quite scary.
But one thing is for sure, if a democrat gets elected (Obama in this case) the economic crisis won't be solved so soon. Democrats are good leaders when there aren't any major problems. They're good at keeping out of problems but not good at getting out of them.
On the other hand, if McCain wins it for some magical reason, the crisis will grow deeper.
On second thought, I'd vote for Paris Hilton.

pretty much agree. I think Obama will at least make things better but it will take time.

Obama, like any other democrat, will have a long-term vision when solving the crisis. And after the debates I have absolutely no doubts that you will suffer a bit during the first couple of years. But the basis to avoid another similar crisis will definitely be built.
McCain's plan, on the other hand, will make a huge impact on the financial markets and all will go well for a few years. But another crisis (even worse than the current one) is always lurking around the corner, just waiting for another subprime-like crisis to happen and turn in to a world crisis.
This has nothing to do with Obama or McCain. It has to do with democrats and republicans. And until you find an alternative to the bipartidary system and find a candidate that stands somewhere in the middle, this type of events will keep occurring. And, no, Ralph Nader is nowhere near a good example for the type of candidate I mentioned.

McCain.
Don't know enough about Obama yet, and there's just something about him that doesn't sit right with me about him....and I don't mean you know what. |

Let's look at the vice presidents instead. If McCain is elected, he will die due to illness. If Obama is elected, he will be shot, because he's black. So, who do we have left? Joe Biden vs. "Serra Paylin" ( ). Very easy choice for me...

I really dislike Biden, and have doubts about Obama Palin's rubbish, so I am hoping McCain can live for 4 more years |

The change, that seems to be his message, but he doesn't seem to have any idea what he wants to change or what he wants to change it too. Also we don't have any real history for him, i.e. what his opinions on certain issues are. So i reckon better the devil you know. |
