The world is headed for such a breakdown in the fever of war, and these atomic weapons will certainly be used. There is no precedent in history where men have created weapons and then put them aside and become peaceful.

10 of the Most Important Economic Events of the Last 10 Years: Collapsing the Economy in the Buildup to World War III
So how does a collapsing empire as large as the United States recover from such disastrous fiscal policy? If history is any indication, a World War is the only solution. "The Great Depression ended as nations increased their production of war materials at the start of World War II. This increased production provided jobs and put large amounts of money back into circulation." Hence in large part, WWII helped to bring about the end of the great depression.
Unfortunately however it was not the general public that benefited from the war. "World War II spending often required a conversion of plants designed for civilian good production into military factories and back again over the 9 year period. Substantially higher federal tax rates that were paid by the majority of households imposed much stronger fiscal drags on the benefits of the spending. Finally, less of the military spending was earmarked for wages and use of locally produced inputs, which reduced the direct stimulus to the local economy." In essence, World War II just helped to consolidate corporate assets for the privileged few.
This attack on Iran will be nothing short of World War III which happens to be the mantra of the neocons who, with their corporate connections, would have everything to gain while the human race would have everything to lose, specially considering that this global war to save the American Empire is about to begin with the use of Nuclear weapons.
Unwittingly, the American populace is beginning to support the Bush administration's plans to attack Iran, but they fail to realize that the decision to start World War III is solely an economic one to prevent the banking institutions from collapsing. go to story

If you say, "No, I don't want paper. Give me gold dollar," then you are finished. Your currency will be finished. Immediately there will be revolution, that "The government is cheating us." Actually it is cheating. What is the proof, value, of this paper, little paper? Simply "I promise to pay, governor and this..." But it is on trust only: "Yes, government will pay me." They'll never pay, but so long the government goes on, it will go on, that's all, cheating will go on. And as soon government fails, you throw in the street, no one will care for it. It has been practically proved in the last war, in Germany. There was scarcity of food, and those who had bunch of currency notes, they went for one piece of bread, so many thousand marks, "Give me." Nobody supplied. So the paper has no value, but if we believe, it has value, that's all. Otherwise what is the meaning of this paper, one thousand dollars? more
Headed for breakdown
Interview, 1978
REPORTER: How do you feel about the future of America? Will there be a lot of destruction? There have been prophecies like that.
HANSADUTTA: Well, if one uses his common sense, he can see the future. Just like you can tell when it's going to snow or it's going to rain. Similarly, if one becomes a little advanced in Krishna consciousness, he can understand what the future holds. The future of not only America, but the whole world, is very dark because the whole world is now in a godless state. Everyone has rejected the authority of the Supreme Lord, and is trying to manufacture their own authorities in the name of democracy, communism, socialism, capitalism. In this way people have created different camps of communists, socialists and anarchists all at odds with each other. Even among so-called religious communities there is fighting, as between the Christians and Muslims and Jews and Hindus. Everyone is at odds with each other because of godlessness. And they have created terrible weapons that are capable of destroying cities in a moment.
It is nature's law that every action has a resultant reaction. In other words, they have created so many atomic weapons and other weapons, and in due course of time, when the karmic reaction matures, then these weapons will be unleashed, and the whole world will be enveloped in the fury of war. That has happened already twice in this last century with World War I and World War II. Right now practically there are a dozen countries at war. In Africa there is war, in the Middle East there is war, in Vietnam and Cambodia there is war, in South America there is war, in the Philippines there is war. War is going on everywhere, and it is just a matter of time before it spreads to our country and other countries. Just like when there is a disease in the body, first it manifests as a pimple here, a pimple there, and suddenly when it becomes mature, the whole body becomes overwhelmed with fever, collapses and breaks down. So the world is headed for such a breakdown in the fever of war, and these atomic weapons will certainly be used. There is no precedent in history where men have created weapons and then put them aside and become peaceful. Just like when a man marries, certainly he's going to have children. It's inevitable. Maybe today, tomorrow or after some years.
But even if there's no war, even if everything remains peaceful and harmonius, it doesn't mean that you won't die, that you will not become old or that you will not become diseased. Either peace or war, rich or poor, everyone should try to become Krishna conscious and get out of this material existence, because it means suffering in any case. That is the teaching of Bhagavad-gita: janma-mrityu-jara-vyadhi-duhkha-doshanudarshanam. One should always be aware of the evils of birth, death, old age and disease. If one is always conscious of these miseries, then he's not going to be very enthusiastic to work very hard to get a big position, to accumulate a lot of money, to marry and have dozens of children. No. He will think, "What is the use of this? Let me get out of here. Let me be liberated, go back home, back to Godhead." This is real intelligence, seeing that it is a hopeless waste of time to struggle for existence simply to lose everything at the time of death. Just look at President Kennedy. So powerful, popular, handsome, rich, nice family, beautiful wife. But in one second everything was lost.
So that is always with us. Wherever you go, death goes with you. Bhagavad-gita says, "For one who is born, it is certain he will die." Therefore, don't waste time on something which is not going to last. Nothing we accomplish in this life is permanent. It is all temporary. The intelligent person does only what is absolutely necessary to keep his body and soul together, and with the time saved, he practices Krishna consciousness, chants Hare Krishna. That is yoga. Yoga means to live only for the purpose of advancing in God realization. He doesn't live for sense enjoyment, he doesn't live for his country, he doesn't live for his business, he doesn't live just to eat, sleep and have sex. He lives because human life gives him the opportunity to be liberated from birth and death and go back home to Godhead.
