I voted no, thinking in the classical sence.
However, by deffinition, we're already in a world war,
based on the so called coalition, and the fact that the "terrorists"
in Iraq come from many countries.

I voted YES, this is how WWII began, one country at a time...Poland=Iraq.
We're already IN it. Ask the Iraqis.

I voted YEAH, because it's already been "triggered."
As Panda says, ask the Iraqis, but also ask the troops.

I believe if things progress they way they are, the war on Terror will end up snowballing into another world war. Left vs right, Muslem vs Christian, communist vs capitalist, civil wars and fun stuff like that. It's not like anyone has learned from the past eh?

Yip. But what exactly is a "World War" ?
Wikopedia's definition| QUOTE |
The War on Terror The current wars (as of 2005) involving the United States, the United Kingdom, Iraq, and Afghanistan, are the subject of much debate over definition. For practical reasons some consider these to be part of a single larger conflict, the "War on Terror," which is the Third (or Fourth) World War. Others question whether the larger terrorism epidemic can properly be called a "war" at all, and suggest that one or both of the Iraq and Afghani wars are separate from that larger conflict.
As long as these conflicts have not reached their conclusion, and as long as their definition continues to be a matter of intense political interest, it is difficult to reach a definitive judgment on how they should be categorized, and whether they belong on the list of World Wars.

Do you mean to tell me that they're not trying to trigger WW!V on purpose?
Many of the alliances are in place. The US has managed to piss off quite a few people. Bullies, sooner or later, get taken down a few pegs. Look for a recess appointement of Johnny Bolton. He should be able to get the shit to hit the fan.
If you'll recall both world wars were started on lies... Come to think of it WW3 was started on lies as well. Imagine that.
Is it no wonder Repugnants are doing their best to defund education and push HISTORY and CIVICS/GOVERNMENT down near the bottom on the list of priorities?

They're always much more fun when you can get others to do the fighting, bleeding and dying. It's much easier that way.
Chickenhawks... Gotta love 'em...
