Strategic alliances are formed and broken all the time and Iraq was certainly more of a Vietnam or Korean style war, for the time it is lasting, than it was a WW2 type war --

I was wondering if anyone would ask that. Should have known it would be you. I would go with the following; a war involving a number of the top world powers, irrespective of location, with some on each side.
The next question, of course, would be what defines a world power. A little fuzzy of course but I'd say being in the top 10 list of national GDP would be a good start.
