If you sit down and ask yourself what the goals of many of these countries are, you will realize that a wide-scale Middle East "war" will not happen, let alone "World War Three".

Does there have to be a logical goal?? Was Hitler's hatred of Jews logical? Didn't stop him from doing what he did.

I think the centuries of blind hatred between Israeli's and Arab nations is sufficient to start a good sized war in the region.

While I give the nod to pure blind hatred, Iran, for example, has too much at stake to get into a conventional conflict with Isreal at this point. They are just trying to prove that they are the mover and shaker of the middle east, and that they can do whatever they want. If they can kill Jews by doing it, then so much the better.
