Iraq: Civil War Or Not?

[sinewave]

There's been a lot of talk lately about the state of Iraq. With the recent increase in violence between Sunni and Shia tribes and civlian death rates skyrocketing, would you classify the situation in Iraq as a civil war?

Not quite yet...

But its deffinetly heading that way.

It's not a civil war until I officially play the GNR song...

MY HANDS ARE TIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIED

sorry it's the end of the work day and I'm in a silly mood

It may not be a full blown war, but it's ugly that's for sure. It's worse over there than the Troubles ever were here, and alot of people called the Troubles a war.

I don't what else it could be called when the country is divided into several groups all trying to kill each other.

It's a civil war. Anyone who thinks otherwise is just fooling themselves.

since bush says its not a civil war....i'd say that makes it pretty safe to assume that it is a civil war.

i can't argue with that logic.

When one parts killing the other part, I'd say that's civil war. THe Bush reasoning thing isn't bad either though.

One group of citizens fighting another group of citizens, same country, different beliefs, hell its the dictionary definition

it's really absurd that anyone is even arguing this.
