Christopher Allbritton says it’s civl war in Iraq, but you can judge for yourself. Here’s a list of conditions that describe a civil war that he supplies: * A weak central government with incompetent security apparatus. * Spread of sectarian and ethnic killings. * Existence of armed sectarian and ethnic militias. * High threat perception among the sectarian and ethnic groups of the country. * Insistence of each group on its demands. * Foreign interference and support to feuding groups. It’s hard to argue that Iraq fails to meet any of those conditions.
