WHY WORLD WAR IV
Dr. Earl Tilford, Professor of History and a Fellow at the right wing Foundation for the Defence of Democracies wrote in June 24, 2004:
“World War IV is a total war on a global scale. World War IV seems complex but keep in mind during World War III (the Cold War) while American forces fought North Vietnamese regulars and National Liberation Front (Vietcong) guerrillas in South Vietnam, we also fought the Pathet Lao in Laos and Khmer Rouge in Cambodia.
From Greece and Yugoslavia to Korea and Vietnam and the Caribbean and jungles of South America, the Cold War involved a large number of nations and groups. Nevertheless, it all came together as part of a struggle between competing worldviews.
The ‘War on Terror’ is no less complicated and similarly encompassing. Since it is an Information Age War in which knowledge is power. It is essential to understand who we fight and what they aim to achieve. Our enemies are more than savage barbarians with a penchant for decapitating the innocent. They are integral to a concerted effort to redefine the world order.
This is World War IV. Forget the sleazy sickness of Abu Ghraib. Stop mouthing meaningless slogans like, ‘Bush Lied, Soldiers Died.’ Steel yourselves for a long bloody fight. This is a war we (the US) must not lose.”
The threat of World War IV is real. Even now, war preparations against Iran are building up, despite the devastation and the thousands of lives lost by the invasion into Iraq. As Norman Podhoretz, a prominent neo-conservative, declared in his article World War IV: How It Started, What It means, and Why We Have to Win:
“….Iraq is only the second front …the second scene so to speak, of the first act of a five-act play. In World War II and then in World War III (the Cold War), we (the US) persisted in spite of impatience, discouragement, and opposition for as long as it took to win, and this is exactly what we have been called to do today in World War IV.”
In view of this, the Perdana Global Peace Organisation, led by Malaysia’s former Prime Minister, Yang Amat Berbahagia Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, the Chairman of the Perdana Global Peace Forum, is organising special sessions this year where five of the speakers from the 2005 Forum will reconvene.

"When Einstein said, “The splitting of the atom changed everything save man’s mode of thinking, thus we drift towards unparalled catastrophe”, he meant that war was fundamentally obsolete. That man must stop fighting because if he continues indulging in the killing instinct, eventually nuclear weapons will be used and their use could signal the end of life on earth….Prognostically our present path will lead us to annihilation possibly within 20 years but maybe within 10 years. There is no time to waste. Wise leaders must arise who will lead us from the brink of nuclear suicide and who will instigate the dynamics necessary to stop the blind and unconscious rush to mutually assured destruction."
