I thought it already had with Iraq and Aghanistan... I am of the opinion that we are already in WWIII but it's a much slower war due to the fact we have mutually assured destruction with thermal nuclear weapons.

My vision of WWIII is that once it really gets going eventually it goes nuclear. That's when we know it really has begun.

The slow tempered pace of the US against the Middle east is based on past lessons learned with Germany and WWI and WWII... you don't take on the world all at once, invasion and occupation requires time, stealth and strategy.

9/11 was the start of WWIII... we are 13 years in the making of this slow build up to a much larger global scale confrontation.

It did start in the Middle-East. You are absolutely correct.
