Question

when bush says a civil war is a civil war?

how do we know for sure that usa is not doing all the sectarian bombings, to make iraq want the americans to stay??
how can we trust bush?

yesterday iran was part of the axix of evil today iran is the access of help?

Answer 1

In light of Bush's insistence that we should stay the course it seems plausible that the USA also conducted sectarian bombings to drum up domestic support for a bogus 'war'.

Saddam understood what some cannot - that democracy is almost impossible to achieve in 'tribal' nations. Military rule is the most effective. Something that Bush, as commander in chief, should have known.

I think he deliberated went in to cause civil strive but not a full blown war as a distraction from and justification of his true intent - control of the oil fields.

Then he tried to control the escalation of discord and with the cooperation of the media hide it from the American public.

Now we know but we still don't grasp the full extent of what this man did to the Middle East and more importantly - world stability.

And no, I'm not paranoid - I'm analyzing.

Answer 2

A civil war is a war in which parties within the same culture, society or nationality fight for political power or control of an area. Political scientists use two criteria: the warring groups must be from the same country and fighting for control of the political center, control over a separatist state or to force a major change in policy. The second criteria is that at least 1,000 people must have been killed in total, with at least 100 from each side.

Some civil wars are also categorized as revolutions when major societal restructuring is a possible outcome of the conflict. An insurgency, whether successful or not, is likely to be classified as a civil war by some historians if, and only if, organized armies fight conventional battles. Other historians state the criteria for a civil war is that there must be prolonged violence between organized factions or defined regions of a country (conventionally fought or not).

Ultimately the distinction between a "civil war" and a "revolution" or other name is arbitrary, and determined by usage. The successful revolution of the 1640s in England which led to the (temporary) overthrow of the monarchy became known as the English Civil War. The successful insurgency of the 1770s in British colonies in America, with organized armies fighting battles, came to be known as the American Revolution. In the United States, and in American-dominated sources, the term 'the civil war' almost always means the American Civil War, with other civil wars noted or inferred from context.

Answer 3

A civil war is when people within a country do not agree, negotiate or compromise. Each group want everyone to live their way so they resort to fighting each other, hence, a civil war.

Answer 4

Even if the Americans were doing the bombing, which we are NOT, those bombs, mortars, and execution groups aren't making the Iraqis want us to stay.. If anything, it's making the Iraqi's think "Gee, I wish they would leave."

Answer 5

In the modern version people from other countries that wear no uniform come in and kill women and children and the media pretends this has some honor.
