The first stages have already started. U.S. commanding generals and senior Pentagon officials have already made comments pertaining to this issue. So this is an issue that isn't even up for debate. Kind of like the weapons of mass destruction issue. Nobody could really dispute the fact that sectarian violence has been so severe that a civil war has started. Not even the most conservative of Republicans could dispute that. The only folks that would dispute that right now is the Bush administration and that is for purposes of semantics and saving face. But once the military admits that sectarian violence is rapidly increasing to alarming rates, you have to go with that answer. They truly know. And wouldn't you know it. At the congressional briefing, Rumsfeld tried to dispute their claims. While he was sitting right next to the commanding generals that said it. That was irresponsible on his part.

There's certainly already divided factions in Iraq. The problem is that terrorism campaigns and ethnic cleansing can hardly be called a war. It's just not that well organized.
The hate and violence that has been seething under the surface for years has simply been released. This isn't a war, but unbridled hatred and anger. There's a big difference.

Basically they are in the middle of a civil war already. Several groups want to run the country. NATO is there to try to keep peace and to see that the government that is set up is fair to all. Unfortunately several of the other religious sects don't want everyone to have the same rights.

Soon? civilian casualties mount on a daily basis...it's happening as we speak. When neighbors are sniping each other and forming militias it is a civil war. The U.S. just doesn't want to admit that. You cannot rule a nation from behind walls. A rich boy's folly foisted upon the world.

no since the Majority like us being there. its the shi'ite's that dont like us, since they are the vast minority they hate losing power, so they attack us. but for the rest of the 94% of the country, they like us there, so if 6% vs 94% counts as a real civil war then maybe one is likely, but is improbable.
