In 1998 I was stating an a second Civil War in the USA was likely. We almost had the spark in November and December of 2000. The pressure is still building and it will go off unless there are some major changes. One thing that actually helped defer Civil War in the USA was 9/11/01. An attack on America from outside America will tend to bring us together.

The only problem with this scenario is that Civil Wars usually require geographic divisions of the peoples that are warring, or some other distinguishable characteristic (such as race in Zimbabwe). We are far too integrated for anything but a very low level of violence. More like acts of criminality, terrorism, and the like as opposed to the organization of armies to fight a standard war.

One thing that is NOT unlikely, is a Russian-style coup.
