yes, world war three would be fabulous. 'they' said that the cold war however many years ago was capable of escalating to a full scale war which would end in partial destruction of life on Earth, exterminaton of human life or at LEAST, the partial collapse of civilization. that involved how many people? look, little Georgie is doing it all by himself. however, it can also be argued that asteroids, technological difficulties, pandemics and climate changes (duh) could turn the world as we know it into a chaotic world war  three. possible? absolutley. probable? be realistic. if not, i propose, is it possible that in fact the cold war WAS world war three, and the war on terror is world war FOUR?
