This has been disheartening I agree. I am getting close to the point of thinking we should pull back and let the Baghdad showdown begin.

Do you think there is already a civil war there?

No. You can call it "low-grade" civil war as did a recent article posted here, but I think that sectarian violence is different.

I am so adjective that I verb nouns!
Naming things, or not, seems important to the political rhetoric -- we must call this a civil war (with the notion that therefore the US has no business being in the midst of it) but god forbid we should call it a war on terror. :rolleyes:
The dogma lives loudly within me.

You're suggesting that the fighting between the Sunnis and Shi'ites is a War on Terror?

If the two sides are each terrorizing the other, is it still a War on Terror? Or rather a war *of* terror? Or perhaps a war of terrorists?

It's all quite confusing...

It is but I don't believe in questioning authority. That would be wrong.
