    Civil war is triggered by the greedy Americans and the western invasion, Under Saddam Iraq had the best even though the sanction killed a million or more,America is solely responsible for creating this instability in the region, Iraqis have all the right to attack the American for the crimes they committed.

      Daylight you are part right, the murders are killing innocent people left and right. They do not seem to care if its Americans, solders or their own people, men, women and children are being killed by these cold blooded murders.

      And to think that the muslims are a peace loveing religion??

        "Civil wear" defines this war partially and not in its entirety. It is true that civilians are killing each other in Iraq but military actions against the US army are taking place, as well.

        So, the term "Civil wear" is not applicable. It is partially true, it is misleading and entirely false.

        It is well known that reasoning partially true may be false in entirety. An example of this: to hunt is to kill (may be true in some cases)- to kill is to hunt (may be not true as one may kill not hunting)...

        A high rank intelligence officer is not just a spy. He has to offer weighed solutions to problems on the basis of prognostic process evaluation. What we read here is none of it all but labeling terms...
