Is it WW III or the 3rd WW ?

[blues90]

I hear 3rd WW from bush's yap and also from Newt's flaping spew . So there is a difference , is this another language twist set off by the repugs ?

I your opinion do you believe WW III is a real possibility , I feel there is a chance , but I don't know who has the capability or pulling one off or who would want to begin this war .

3. The world is clearly at war again.

However, the ways in which nations wage war is different than it was 60 years ago as nuclear weapons have complicated warfare. I believe the doctrine of terorirsm is a direct result of this change. What's more, this appears to be more of an opening act to WW3 than full blown WW3. It is a battle for position with positions in natural resource rich countries being the key ground. Furthermore, the two primary combatants are America and China with everyone else (mostly) being a pawn of one side or the other. This is all my opinion of course but, based on the info I have seen, it is the only thing that makes sense to me.

8. If you want to be technical, there have been several world wars

The first global world war is generally considered to be between the British & French in various places around the globe during the 1700s. Other wars since then have fallen into the global category, including the Crimean War, Spanish-American War, etc.
