Iraqi Civil War

If Americans truly understood the intricacies and realities of the situation in Iraq I believe they would be less supportive of our continued presence, let alone the fact this administration embroiled our nation in Iraq in the first place.

Chatham House, aka The Royal Institute of International Affairs, recently concluded that a major civil war that would destabilize the entire Middle east region is the mostly likely outcome for Iraq if current conditions continue.

The fact of the matter is that this is already a civil war. Just because it is US bombs and bullets that are trying to pacify the insurgents, doesn't hide the actuality that the insurgency is in a life and death struggle against the US supported interim Iraqi government, and in most situations they are also fighting against newly trained Iraqi soldiers.

When Iraqis are fighting Iraqis that's a civil war, regardless of where each side is getting its military assistance. When Iraqis are fighting each other in an internal power struggle, that's a civil war. What in the world are our troops doing fighting in the midst of another nation's civil war? How many more naive and wrong decisions by this President must we suffer through before the media starts reporting it for what it has become?
