What's so Civil about war?

The intention of this blog isn’t to highlight my views on this Presidential administration, as those views are very well known.

There are several reports out of Iraq that says the country is about to go into a Civil War, but the Bush administration continues to deny this rumor. Based on previous incidents involving this administration, a denial is just about the surest sign of a report being true. They couldn’t even come clean about a simple hunting accident, but we honestly expect them to tell the truth about the war that they created?

Anyways, back to the Civil War thing. Our government doesn’t really like us to think on our own, but I’m going to do a novel thing and perform some critical thinking. This seems like a natural progression for a country that is creating a brand new government. Our own nation went through a Civil War some 75 years after the nation was formed. There have been several Civil Wars throughout history. Is this not a good thing (loss of life and damage to the country neglected)? These people have never fought for their own rights and ideology before. Isn’t that the point of this “liberation” we performed? The truth is that we only want to create a government that agrees with us, which while understandable, is an incredibly naive and unrealistic approach.

The simple truth is that this is an unwinnable war. Any government that is supported/approved by the US is not going to work there, as we are viewed as imperialistic at best. The country is going to continue to spiral out of control until we get the hell out. Things are getting worse over there all the time. I suppose the argument is that an Al Qaida government could start, which is why we can't allow the civil war to happen. But aren't the only Al Qaida in Iraq the ones that we created by going to war with them?

But George Bush refuses to ever admit a mistake, and he believes that by admitting that there is civil unrest and possibly a Civil War, he thinks it would be portrayed a failure. His PR/Spin machine needs to get completely revamped. I could spin this thing perfect for him…this is what his next statement should be…“Of course a Civil War is starting, these people are finally fighting for their beliefs. This often happens when a nation begins. This is a complete success for our Iraq policies.”

Now back to reality, we know that none of the above will happen, except an actual Civil War and denials of it actually taking place, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary.
