Minor quibble - this would be World War IV. Historians are finally starting to call the Cold War by its proper name, World War III.

Ronald Reagan won that war for us.

I guess we could get into specific definitions according to the dictionary or what not, but a struggle with the Soviets is not a World War to me, nor is our current struggle with the Islamic fascists. The combination of Russia/Chinese/Islamic alliance sets the stage for a true global conflict potentially involving hundreds of nations. Agreed, Reagan won the Cold War. I wish we had him around today. I felt safe as a teenager even under the threat of nuclear annihalation as I knew he had balls.
