First, in retrospect, in the American Revolution, Civil War, WW I, WW II, it was fairly easy to tell "who the enemy was" (by the way they dressed...
In the Korean War and the Viet Nam War, we really didn't know WHO the enemy was...the good guys and the bad guys all seemed to look similar.
Now...
Perhaps before, and with "911", the scene has changed...
Even though the powers that be haven't officially "declared" WW III, we are obviously in it...
TERRORISM! The terrorists are attacking just about every country now, randomly, purposively, and without reservation. The enemy, like Korea and Nam, is difficult to "profile" and "typecast". Yes, the governments of the world "try" but they can't find all the terrorists, can't always identify who is one, and darn sure don't know who and where they are hiding. Some are attending and trained by our colleges and universities, flight schools, and other institutions as "regular students". Profiling doesn't work here either, regardless of what one's ethnic background is. There are "good" and "bad" individuals of every ethnic background...this is what makes profiling next to impossible.
So...
Yes, WW III has begun. God help us all in the years to come!
