LOL. I can't believe Allawi said it was a civil war today. Of course, he said this from the U.K.
We figure since he didn't get enough votes in the election last December (I was actually pulling for him), he must be unemployed now and times are a little tough in Iraq these days. And CNN or someone must have offered him a big wad of cash to say "It's a civil war" on TV.
Only explanation I can think of...
Or he is trying to get into the news the best way he can.......by repeating the MSM religious beliefs.
Hey.....I have a Subway Baghdad t shirt that he brought me.......have you seen those? Evidence of your earlier post about imperialist takeover capitalist inroads......
It is a long overdue social readjustment. Saddam had kept the screws down tight on a lot of conflicts in Iraq, and now that the people are free they're doing what they've wanted to do for some time - protect their local interests. Calling it a 'civil war' is not reasonable, calling it 'ethnic or religious tensions' is.
