One thing is for sure -- the insurgency is not getting weaker. Unless you've spoken with numerous Iraqis in Iraq, how do you have any confidence in the sentence above? How are you measuring the strength/weakness/support for/hatred of the "insurgent" killers? Please share....

re: I agree that it's not civil war -- yet. But they're on that path. I don't think it will become an actual civil war until we leave. What's your definition of civil war? John
