  World War IV - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Project for the New American Century and some other analysts who hold that "World War III" refers to a past Soviet-American conflict also use the term "World War IV" to refer to an on-going conflict that is occurring as of 2006 in the form of the "War on Terrorism".
The term "World War IV" is occasionally used in the United States political and policy debates that continue in the wake of the September 11, 2001 attacks.
The way we won World War II fighting for Churchill's and Roosevelt's Atlantic Charter and the way we won World War III fighting for the noble ideas I think best expressed by President Reagan, but also very importantly at the beginning by President Truman, that this was not a war of us against them.

 Are We in World War IV?
World War III, which might have ended it all, could indeed have started, as the U.S. military feared for decades, with those Soviet tanks pouring through the Fulda Gap in Germany, and escalated from there to "theater," and finally intercontinental, ballistic missiles.
This was a proxy war, similar to the one fought by the CIA in Laos in the 1960s and early 1970s (or even various proxy wars fought in Central America in the 1980s).
When you read the World War IV literature what you quickly notice is that these men, their eyes focused on the crumbling towers (and on a prior policy wish-list), claimed the moment to be transformative and undoubtedly believed themselves (like our initially panicked President) in a World-War-IV-type situation.

The article makes the claim that our current war on terror is only accurately understood if it is seen in the context not of a single war, but as World War IV (WWIII, of course, being the "cold" war against the Soviet Union).
As for the future of this war, the author draws many parallels to the conditions at the end of World War III, aka the Cold War.
I've been one of those hawkish fellows who has long wondered whether invading Iraq was only done first because it was more politically expedient than invading Iran, but had noted that we now have two flanks on Iran, which may be a way to exert greater pressure.

Some of this happened even in World War II, perhaps the most popular war the United States has ever fought, and much more of it in World War III (that is, the cold war); and now it is happening again, notably with respect to Iraq.
In World War II and then in World War III, we persisted in spite of impatience, discouragement, and opposition for as long as it took to win, and this is exactly what we have been called upon to do today in World War IV.
With the victorious conclusion of World War III in 1989-90, the old international order became obsolete, and new arrangements tailored to a new era would have to be forged.

World War V? On the July 13 edition of his nationally syndicated radio show, Fox News host Sean Hannity declared: "we are loaded up today, as the Middle East on the brink of World War V, here." Hannity did not explain what he regarded as World Wars III and IV.
The way we won World War III was not by invading and bombing primarily, it was by bringing down regimes that were palpably failures, like the Soviet Union and the Soviet empire in general.
Actually, World War V. We have World War I and II and the Cold War as World War III, according to Norman Podhoretz.

The "Cold War" with Soviet Communism -- which was won finally by Reaganite America about 1989 -- was as much a planetary confrontation as the previous fight with the Axis Powers, with even more at stake.
And as the conditions for World War II did not begin with the invasion of Poland, but with Adolf Hitler's ascension to power in 1933, or perhaps, as many argue, with the Treaty of Versailles in 1919, so also "World War IV" began long before 9/11.
For the enemy we face in World War IV truly does not resemble any that we defeated in World Wars I, II, or III.

but militant Islam." As in world wars II and III, the ultimate enemy is a cohort of powerful ideas that can cause some of the most competent members of society to dedicate themselves to a vision and go so far as willingly sacrifice their lives to speed its attainment.
World War IV, in short, involves many fronts and requires a strategy that looks far beyond counterterrorism.

 World War IV- by Justin Raimondo
A major element of war propaganda is the conjuration of the enemy as a fearsome, fanatical, and fantastical demon imbued with enormous power — and this image of the nuclear-crazed mullahs, led by a man with all the public relations panache of Pat Robertson, is the new bogeyman being touted by the War Party.
The problem for the War Party this time around is that they did the most to create this enemy — and the trail of their assistance to this supposed mad dog of a country is not hard to trace.
The stage having been set, Ferguson's scenario of a future war proceeds with machine-like predictability: an "anti-Semitic demagogue" wielding a nuclear hammer shatters the peace of the world and, due to Western hesitation rooted in cowardice, is appeased until he strikes out with his fiery sword.

There are precedents for this in history (King Philip's War, Pontiac's War, or even The War of Jenkins' Ear), but the war did not begin with bin Laden and will not end with his death, which may come sooner than anyone had anticipated--including, one hopes, the man himself.
The enemy in this war is not "terrorism"--a distilled essence of evil, conducted by the real-world equivalents of J. Rowling's Lord Voldemort, Tolkien's Sauron or C. Lewis's White Witch--but militant Islam.
Yet if after the Afghan campaign ends, the government lapses into a covert war of intelligence-gathering, arrests, and the odd explosion in a terrorist training camp, it will be a sign that it would rather avoid calling things by their true name.

At this point, the war on terror has just had a major victory, after serious setbacks due to the unexpected strength of the "insurrection." The positive side of the "insurrection" is the intelligence bonanza, as terrorists, forced to fight, are captured.
Koppel's actions were clearly meant to delegitimatize that war, by showing only its cost in lives, not showing the cost of Afghanistan, and not mentioning any of the positive accomplishments of the war.
And it demonstrated that by conquering Iraq, something that the left (who have long had a feeble understanding of geopolitics) thinks was either a useless war, or (in their fevered minds) was a war to enrich the friends of Bush (which is a terribly offensive accusation of intentional mass murder for profit against Bush).

In the address to a group of college students, Woolsey described the Cold War as the third world war and said "This fourth world war, I think, will last considerably longer than either World Wars I or II did for us.
He said the new war is actually against three enemies: the religious rulers of Iran, the "fascists" of Iraq and Syria, and Islamic extremists like al Qaeda.

That an extremist pining for a new world war is being seriously considered for the job of American viceroy in occupied Iraq is the final proof that the neocons have won — and that we have good reason to be nervous.
I can even go along with David Pryce-Jones in imagining the turmoil of this war leading to some new species of an imperial mission for America, whose purpose would be to oversee the emergence of successor governments in the region more amenable to reform and modernization than the despotisms now in place.
Benador has advised her client, Jim Woolsey, to tone down the rhetoric about "World War IV." But in the orgy of triumphalism certain to follow our Pyrrhic "victory" in Iraq, such grand-scale megalomania is likely to seem less insane.

Israel knows that this time the fight is "for keeps." When the Jews left Europe at the end of World War II, those fortunate few who escaped Hitler's death machine swore "never again."

This unwillingness among us mere mortals to see the world in terms of a universal death struggle, which neocon sympathizer Larry Haas, a member of the Committee on the Present Danger, believes is caused by "our faith in rationality," upsets some of the Spengler-like neocons, most noticeably their cantankerous dean, Norman Podhoretz.
Foremost among these is "the long war," evoking -- to my mind at least -- World War I, "the Great War" as it was known, which did so much to lead to the rise of fascism in Europe.
