Keith recall the commentary about 15 yrs ago in this forum regarding modern
warfare.  World War 4 would involve little or no violent chemical reactions,
no hurling of projectiles, it would be unclear when it started, many if not
most people on the planet would be unaware that it was going on or who were
the contestants, but it would be warfare in any case.
