It is difficult to categorize the bombings and killings in Iraq as a civil war. Whose going to be brave enough to walk up to these people and ask them? Can we expect honest answers?
Iraq is accustomed to this. Control and order is unknown to them. Leadership is taken by force and submission is expected by threats.
The presence of the U.S. in Iraq is not wanted, nor is our agenda clear. We were fighting terrorists - and there are terrorists all over the world, not just in Iraq.

That certainly is a civil war despite what our President says and we are probably never going to have a victory over there since those factions have been killing each other for thousands of years.

for a long time it has been. I dont think a democracy is going to work in Iraq because the only way to keep them from fighting was to control them severly.

Yes, and has been going on for a long time...Saddam just kept kind of a lid on it......too bad Saddam had WMD's,
because we just had to get involved...this has turned into one big Charlie Foxtrot...........We might just achieve the same kind of vicory in Iraq as we did in the 'Nam..........
