Harry,
Isn't a good thing that we are not sticking our head in the sand, like we
did in WW1 and WW2. Hopefully our War on Terrorist will stop it from
developing into another World War. We don't need another war that is very
bloody and destructive.

You should know this without looking it up.
Absurd attempt at comparison.
Absurd? We *are* in a world war against terrorists, Krause. Have you
not
noticed?

There's no evidence we're engaged in a world war against terrorists. If
we were, we'd be doing more to catch some than rounding up the usual
suspects in Iraq and Afghanistan.


LOL! *Your* very own link (in your initial post to this thread) says
otherwise Harry. It shows 17 countries from around the world losing
members of their armed forces in their fight against terrorists, and with
that fight spreading out over several countries.

If that is not a "World War", then what is? Eh? ;-)



A world war is a military conflict affecting the majority of the world's
major nations. World wars usually span multiple continents, and are very
bloody and destructive.

The term has usually been used to apply to two conflicts of unprecedented
scale and slaughter that occurred during the 20th century. They were the
First World War, also known as the Great War (1914-1919) and the Second
World War (1939-1945).

Some have claimed that the Cold War should be termed a "World War III" and
that the current War on Terror is "World War IV". However, these
characterizations have attracted little support outside the largely
ideological groups that have used them.
