Iraq’s rising sectarian and communal violence is claiming about 1,000 lives every month in the Baghdad area alone, raising fears of all-out civil war.

And Venezuela has about 10,000 murder per year, or about 800 dead per month.

Is Venezuela on the verge of an all-out civil war?

Colombia's murder rate is even higher, but since they are involved in fighting the FARC insurgency, I'm not sure it's appropriate to make the analogy..

Or maybe it is..
