A net-friend just posted to a list in reply to another poster saying that this is not a world war. This is my reply.

This _is_ a World War. The terrorists are trying to attack wherever they can (the UK just shut down another terrorist operation and a school where kids were indoctrinated into the terrorist mindset) but one benefit of the UK/US presence in Afghanistan/Iraq is that the terrs are concentrating on our soldiers _who can shoot back_.

Watch the world news. Terrorists are not restricted to the war arenas. Egypt was recently the target of terrorists. (Or at least the tourist areas were.)
