It all depends on what your definition of "in progress" is.
Just because something is not in full swing, that doesn't mean it's not happening.
Technically WWII is often agreed to have started when Germany invaded Poland. But this can be argued, because it wasn't a "world war" just because of an invasion. However I agree with the majority of historians here. But...you could go even further back to the root of it - the end of WWI and the Great Depression.
So in my opinion, WWIII has been in progress since the first Gulf War. This is because the US put bases in Saudi Arabia and pissed off bin laden. Then 9/11 happens...and we've been in the real war ever since. It's only going to get worse from here. That is what WWIII is all about. So yeah, woohoo, execute Saddam. Big deal. What are we going to use his corpse as a shield from future terror attacks and who knows what else will be coming in the future?
A nuclear Iran is inevitable at this point. And when you consider that the Iraq war has done nothing but make more enemies of the US, it only looks like there is a whole new generation of terrorists on the way...and these will have nuclear capabilities.
And let's just consider Russia and China - they have an oppurtunity to take out the US through the surrogate of supporting th rogue nations, even if it's completely under the table and out of sight. Surely I think they would take the chance.
It's all coming together.

You know, it's funny, but I watched that movie Kingdom Of Heaven today, and it really struck me how much killing and murder has been done in the name of God (by people of all faiths) in the history of man, even though it's supposed to be morally wrong. Not to mention the parallels between the european occupation of Jerusalem, and the situation in the Middle East today. One line that really stayed with me was, " To kill an infidel is not murder—it is the path to heaven. " This was the belief of the Pope during the Crusades, and in fact many Christians (it was blasphemy to believe that Christianity and Islam could co-exist.) and it's basically the same philosophy the Islamic terrorists have toward westerners today.
Hang his butt, on TV for the world to see. Then I'd fry him like a burnt piece of bacon for good measure. I'm all for the death penalty for those where there is enough hard proof and obviously there is in his case.
You can't reason with animals and he's an animal. He's wasting our air supply. We've wasted WAY too much time on that piece of filth. I would have thrown a grenade is his spider hole if *I* found him.
