An overwhelming majority of the public believe fighting between Sunni and Shiite Muslims in Iraq will lead to civil war and half say the United States should begin withdrawing its forces from that violence-torn country, according to the latest Washington Post-ABC News poll.
The survey found that 80 percent believed that recent sectarian violence made civil war in Iraq likely, and more than a third said such a conflict was “very likely” to occur. These expectations extend beyond party lines: More than seven in 10 Republicans and eight in 10 Democrats and political independents believe such a conflict is coming.

Of course there will be civil war-we gave the insurgency its initial legs by an incompetent occupation plan”; now we are unable to quell the tit-for-tat violence, and we haven’t trained enough Iraquis to hold the lid on…The innocents we didn’t kill before will be lucky survive this next phasee. So sad-why are Bush-Cheney et al still walking around while their bull-headed policies continue to kill and maim?
Proof positive that 80% of the people wouldn’t recognize a civil war if you hit them in the face with one.
One sure sign: Hundreds of people from two or more religious/political parties waging open warfare against each other IS A CIVIL WAR, DAMN IT!
