At what point civil war?
It has been the position of this blog that Iraq has been mired in a civil war for quite some time now (see previous post "US Iraq/Soviet Afghanistan", Dec. 4, 2005).
But all of this talk now by the mainstream media anticipating a "civil war" makes me wonder: When does a civil war become a civil war? Does it have to be "officially" declared?
Sunni's have been killing Shiite's and Shiite's have been killing Sunni's since right after Saddam's government was outsted; when will they call it a "civil war"? When the number of bodies reach a certain number?
Just wondering.
