There is no way to see the Iraq war as a local one. The armies in Iraq are regular armies, but there are also irregular ones confronting each other all over the Middle East, and a political battle being fought all over the world. Historians may hesitate to call it a World War, but these historians usually are not able to size and name events, anyway.
