Time for a Hug eh? It is after all ....2002 !
Lets say India and Pakistan go to war. It goes Thermal. Asia goes nuts and old wounds, much like we see above in the patriotic historical dribble above, open up. Cambodia, Vietnam and all the others get caught up in protecting their own borders as the worlds largest population of Muslims, Hindus and god knows who else decide to settle the religious question once and for all.
The middle East goes ballistic shortly afterwards with Iraq seizing its chance in the confusion to have another crack at Kuwait's oilfields. Israel decides its time to take out Palisitine whilst world attention is drawn elsewhere. The Saudi's. Egypt and the rest who could never be trusted, side with their Arabic brothers in Jihad against Israeli, British and American Interests.
Europe finally gets its act together and the ineffective Nato Alliance moves to bring peace in the Asiatic regions. Nato find themselves in a hotbed and cant do it alone. They are weak in the struggle iwith resources spread all over both Asia and the Middle East. The US sends in thousands of troops and war material to the regions to assist Nato in containing the region. Britain, Australia and Canada enter the fray. Britains resources are stretched. Australia are totally committed to the Asiatic. Canada is spread all over the place lending a hand.
European forces fighting to keep the Asiatic War from entrenching on their borders suddenly find the likes of France, Finland, Germany all mixed together in a hodge podge of a coilition force, old history forgotten. New history to be made.
Domestic Terrorism hit Europe. The internal Terrorists strike. the civil population in all countries are struck by fear. Mass Riots, demonstrations and Crime throw themselves against Civil defence forces.
Russians and Germans, Finns and Swedes, Japanese and Australian. All fighting side by side to tame a fire long out of control.
Someone lets go a Nuke!
Do you think any of them 50 years later, if there is a 50 years later will find their way to a BBS like this and say.....
"You started it!"
Unfortunately.....One of them probably will

Thank God I live in Australia where the only people we really have to watch are those mischievous Kiwis, just across the water.
Give it a rest fellas and give Peace a chance.
