do they teach math at your high school? just curious... 2005 was 14 months ago... not three years ago... you're the one saying it... when you say "for three years," you can't actually count the current year that is 45 days old...

well, let's see what we have here that you assert IS the mainstream media... four "examples" of the word "civil war"... two of which suggest "fears of" and "risk of"... one of which was a commentary... lol... well, yes, that's certainly a full blown media-wide conspiracy back then... heck, if you wanna talk about "fears of" and "risk of", many pundits and lawmakers warned of Civil War in Iraq as early as 2001 when your heroes began ramping up the rhetoric in the first place...

the fact is, civil war WARNINGS were a mere spattering back then (albeit, quite accurate)... .civil war ASSERTIONS of fact became MAINSTREAM, CONSENSUS opinion only in the last 12 months...

The problem is our Civil War occured over 140 years ago. What are you expecting? One side to wear blue uniforms and the other to wear grey? No, this is much worse than a civil war because there are no rules, it's chaos. You have three sides who refuse to come together and work anything out. Sectarian death squads are murdering families in broad daylight. Add foreign fighters to the mix and you have a civil war.

This is why Republicans lose big. They deny reality.

Nope, they taught calculus and physics. At any rate, it was 2004 when the drums of Civil War were beginning to eminate in the media.

"The most difficult subjects can be explained to the most slow-witted man if he has not formed any idea of them already; but the simplest thing cannot be made clear to the most intelligent man if he is firmly persuaded that he knows already, without a shadow of doubt, what is laid before him."
Leo Tolstoy, 1897

Look, if you want to call it a Civil War, if it makes you feel better, go ahead. I never said it was [pretty over there, I merely said I didn't view the situation as a Civil War is all. The Central government is in place, and it is not as if those killing each other are trying to overthrow it, as much as they are merely trying to kill people of a different ethnicity. There is no certified definition of Civil War. If you think it is, then fine, your entitled to your opinion. Some in here think that Rwanda was genocide, as do I, others don't. Who's right, who's wrong?
