I think civil war in Iraq is inevitable. I think the questions are when, how long and how much damage.
I honestly didn't think it would happen. I know many people were worried about a Civil War when we first invaded but I really didn't think it would come down to this. Question: What exactly constitutes a "civil war"?
CIVIL WAR A war between factions of the same country; there are five criteria for international recognition of this status: the contestants must control territory, have a functioning government, enjoy some foreign recognition, have identifiable regular armed forces, and engage in major military operations. www.globalsecurity.org/military/library/policy/army/fm/100-20/10020gl.htm
George Carlin: One of the greatest comedians of all time! He should update some of his material for the Iraq war. "A place for my military stuff."
Iraq already is in civil war. They are just playing with words as usual, the same as it is not war in Iraq, is liberation of Iraq. The winner of the civil war, most likely will be Iranians. They already have one of their own as president of Iraq.
Wow, a highly stratified population with a government in shambles going into civil war. Who would have ever guessed?
