I'm interested in IW as defined in the Toffler's book "War and
Anti-War"

Moderator's note:
        War and Anti-War
        Survival at the Dawn of the 21st Century
        Little, Brown, and Company, 1993
        Alvin and Heidi Toffler

>From the introduction:
        "This book is about wars and anti-wars to come.  It is for the
Bosnian child whose face has been half ripped away by explosives, and
for his mother staring with glazed eyes at what is left.  It is for all
the innocents of tomorrow who will both kill and die for reasons they do
not understand.  It is a book about peace.  Which means it is a book
about war in the startling new conditions we are creating as we race
together into an alien future.
...
        The thesis of this book is clear - but as yet little understood:
the way we make war reflects the way we make wealth - and the way we
make anti-war must reflect the way we make war.
...
        At the highest level, antiwars involve the strategic
applications of military, economic, and informational power to reduce
the violence so often associated with change on the world stage.
...
        Anti-wars must match the wars they are intended to prevent.
