True, communal violence has long been common there. True of the Balkans too.

It doesn't really matter how many centuries those tribes in Iraq have been at war with each other. When we took Saddam out and therefore removed the government of Iraq, which was at least holding the mess in check, the results did indeed become our responsibility. So a potential civil war--which opponents of the war predicted--is therefore fully the responsibility of the U.S. It just boggles my mind that you gung-ho pro Iraqi war yahoos are already trying to weasle out of responsibility for the absolutely disastrous results. The Republican administration didn't have a good plan, didn't understand the underlying politics and pitfalls of the region, and went in with ulterior motives. Now a lot of poor young Americans have died or have been maimed physically and mentally for life. I'm glad to read today that some senior Republicans are afraid the unfolding disaster will affect their future election results. I certainly hope it does!
