there will be a civil war again someday
Get down on your knees and pray we don't. The new boss won't be the same as the old boss. He'll be a tyrant with absolute power. And I'm not talking about any UN army being in it either.
Well, hold on now. That didn't happen after the Revolutionary War. Having a war and our side winning out beats the alternative of our current gradual decline continuing and getting worse for hundreds of years until total collapse. Life might be a lot more enjoyable if this did happen. (obviously, for those who die fighting it won't, but I digress)
