World War III! We Got It First!

Here's some cheerful news. In a poll of Americans and Japanese, the question was asked, do you expect World War III in your lifetime? Those answering YES :

Japan
33%
U.S. 66%

Poll: Americans Say World War III Likely - Yahoo! News

It would be interesting to know how much of this is gloom over Iraq and the Bushcrawlers, and how much is based on a fundamentalist Christian or other religious apocalyptic belief. Or maybe it's just that good old American optimism.
