Dear Mr. Ferguson.

It isn't the Third World War. It is in fact the Fourth World War.

Sincerely yours,

L

P.S. Oh and you're a wanker, too.

Re #9: LOL! Might as well use a derogatory term in his own idiom.

(reverts to small typeface b/c she has no idea... Okay, what other World War did I miss? Is it the public schooling? I did grow up in Illinois. I thought we had a pretty good educational system--it was a Chicago suburb. ???)

Man, I feel so freaking stupid. Every time I visit this place. :)

The Cold War was not a World War. Stating that it was could be belittling the real World Wars.

The Cold War could have been a global war (as was the Seven Years War, and others before World War 1), but it was not a World War.
