Uh, you're forgetting Ronald Reagan's invasion of Grenada. And what about the Falklands and all those conflicts in Africa? What about the Iran-Iraq War and the Israeli wars (the Six Days' War and the Yom Kippur War)? You're forgetting all of those.

In the newspaper this morning I saw an article about the war on terror being also known as World War 4. They also said that World War 3 was the anti-communist war from 1963 to 1989

Those wars aren't big enough to involve the world. So that's why they're not called World War III. And, I think that the world was in an exaggerated time and thought everything as involved with the world. They thought it sounded cooler.

Grenada was a 12 hour war. It should'nt even been called a war.
World Wars involve every single continent adn involve the killing of millions of soldiers and civilians.
World Wars usually should last over 4 years because of the imense resources, countries and land/sea/air territory involved in it.

World War 3 Hasn't happened yet. If it, then how come the Teachers at school tell us about it then? My teachers they never called, "The Cold War" World War 3. They said, "It was too small for WW3, Only a hand full of countries that were involed".

It only needs to involve at least 3 continents. And you cant say how long a world war "usually" last because there have only been 2 of them, cant make a generalization like that.
Thats an asinine statement. There are no "special" names given to wars, they are named based on when/how or where they took place. exp- the war that took place in Korea tadda its called the Korean war, same with Vietnam. And that '6 days war' guess what it was 6 days long. The "Cold War" is the only exception to this (because it wasnt really a war).
with combined effort they can already addord to attack the U.S. But ya know why they dont attack ? because we control a very large percentage of trade in the world and we have the largest nuclear arsenal. - "You dont poke a alligator just to get your arm bitten off."

War of 1812-1814 was the closest the USA has ever come to defeat at home. The White House was burned to the ground and Washington was sacked. Now you're too strong to even consider attacking in open combat. Why do you think people resort to terrorism?

What were you reading? The National Inquirer? WWIII and WWIV still haven't happened. The war on the commies was the cold war. World wars consume the whole world in violence and war. World War 3 will be nuclear and World War 4 might involve antimatter. Antimatter: Just like matter, except that when it comes in contact with matter it ignites. One drop could power New York City for a full day. If one gram would ignite, it would create a 20 kiloton explosion, like the bomb dropped on Hiroshima. It realeases energy with 100% efficiencey. Nuclear fission is 1.5% efficient. A group in Sweden called CERN has recently developed the fist particles of the stuff. When they find a way to keep the stuff contained, it could fall into the wrong hands and destroy the entire universe and many more if large amounts are detonated.
Face it. Were gonna end up killin' each other whether it's the people of today or our children. Humanity's time is over. There will come a time where Earth is ruled by a more capable species. We may rule the Earth, but for what price? We have destroyed a good portion of it. The environment is decaying day by day. There might even be wars for water. A one sentence summary of what I wrote: We're all screwed.

That's blatant hypocrisy - Hawaii may be officially recognised as a state but it is still physically an overseas colony, miles out in the Pacific. The same goes for Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands, although they're not states.
Saying that Hawaii is not a colony is like saying that Gibraltar is is not a colony of the UK. (It could be argued that Gibraltar is like another 'county' of UK as the population identify overwhelmingly with Britain.)
