Andre Gunder Frank wrote a 1991 essay on why he
thought the war against Iraq represented the beginning 
of a "THIRD WORLD WAR."  

In a recent post to the "world systems network"  Frank 
claimed that the present war against Iraq -- as well as the 
wars against Afghanistan and Yugoslavia -- should be viewed 
as a "continuation" of the 1991 war:

Do others agree with his thesis that the 1991 and 2003 wars
against Iraq represent, or potentially represent,  the beginnings 
of World War 3?  Or is his thesis an alarmist over-reaction?

In solidarity, Jerry
