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.

LOL, I'm always busting out on those applecart wheels I think ;)
Would this be an extensive ground war like previous 'world wars' ? Or would this be reliant upon the latest technology in order to gain extensive victories over the 'enemy'? Would it have to last more than a certain length of time?
The length of time factor is one that in a world war situation I just don't see holding out. There are too many surgically precise, long distance ways of taking out the enemy well in advance of sending in ground troops that its just not viable in my mind.
