World War III is here, says Bush

War on terror is apparently the world war three...


So we hear:

In an interview with the financial news network CNBC, Mr Bush said he had yet to see the recently released film of the uprising, a dramatic portrayal of events on the United Airlines plane before it crashed in a Pennsylvania field.
But he said he agreed with the description of David Beamer, whose son Todd died in the crash, who in a Wall Street Journal commentary last month called it "our first successful counter-attack in our homeland in this new global war, World War III".

Mr Bush said: "I believe that. I believe that it was the first counter-attack to World War III.

"It was, it was unbelievably heroic of those folks on the airplane to recognize the danger and save lives," he said.

I have not seen the movie either. If you look like me, unmistakenably very middle-eastern, you may want to wait for the dvd! This sounds funny but I am really not sure if I should see it in the theatres.

Going back to WWIII, there is a wikipedia entry for it! It already includes the war on terror and the president's assessment.

This war on Terra is a war against the world. Led by the stupidest man alive.

Which of course leads to the question of who is the greater fool. The idiot or the idiots who follow him ?

Talks of WWIII are fortunately premature since the world is not polarized enough. In addition, there is no distribution of power to create alliances. The only way things can escalate to a new level is use of nuclear weapons, on either side.
