Some don't think there’s even a threat let alone a war let alone a global war on terrorism
Given the fact that the "war" against terrorism IS occurring on several continents, in multiple countries it is in fact a global/world war. Since this is the third such war, it is ww3 regardless if everyone sees it as such or not..

I'm sure there were those during the first two that did not see them for what they were while they were happening either

yep.  Been going since 1948 but since the arabs cant seem to get a decent fight going they have resorted to whimp terror tactics.  Eventually some idiot terrorist will do enough damage that the west reacts with such overwhelming force that there arent any fanatic moslims left, or at least not enough to bother with.

If you're asking do we believe the current fighting in Lebanon will escalate beyond the borders of Israel and Lebanon my answer is that no one knows but I think it's less than probable at this point.

I do believe that there is war brewing in the world that will likely engulf us all without a significant change in course.

Hi Caligula,

I'm probably going to disappoint, but I think that the current conflict we are in is simply a continuation of the struggle that began with the birth of Islam in 611 AD.

Islam was expanding from the 7th through 16th centuries, went through a period of reversal and western domination in the 17th through mid-20th centuries, but has once again shaken off foriegn control and is undergoing a period of aggressive expansion once again.

"World War" would seem to imply a relatively quick military conflict between world powers with conflicting political aims. What we are dealing with at present is a continuing struggle against a worldview that aims to supersede and eliminate all other worldviews, and one which cannot be finally resolved by force of arms.

As such, I think it is an entirely different kettle of fish from World War One and Two.

If it can be proved that the August 22 'event' which Ahmadinejad spoke of was the airline plot which was stomped today in Britain, then Iran can expect to be destroyed.

i think you`re absolutelly right.
the only solution i can see is the end of dependence on oil, so the arabs won`t get free cash to found terror and get back to camel hurding.

No.

If your country attacks Syria, that could escalate quickly to something that will have the rest of the world glued to their TVs in disbelief.

My sentiment wouldn't be one of disbelief, Syria being the primary supplier of Hezbollah and all. It would be more of an oh s***, here we go.
