when you answer, kindly state your sex, age, and what political leanings you think you have (liberal, conservative, etc.) so i can simply analyze your answer. please, no snide answers. i am trying to understand why:
if it really looks like the people of iraq are fighting against one another (which would be a type of a civil war), what reason would the pentagon have to tell us that iraq is NOT having a civil war?
even if iraq's battles do equal a civil war, what is wrong with americans knowing that?
how does a country's status of being in a civil war or not affect public thinking about our country being involved in it (due to, in this example, eliminating saddam's reign of terror and march into kuwait, for example) with troops protecting civilians?
what WOULD the pentagon have us think and why? (PS: don't think about natural resources when answering. iraq doesn't have much oil anyways, but the surrounding area has 53% of all petroleum in the world).
please, no snideness.
