Maybe we should just start air-dropping guns and knives and clubs. Solving this may be easier than we ever imagined.
Terrorists battling terrorists. Either one wins, it's still the same problem.

I just think it is better that they aim their guns at each other instead of over the borders. Maybe Israel can get a little break while the Paleosimians duke it out.
It's sortof like gang-on-gang shootings. Its so darn useful it ought to just be legalized. :-)
No reports of civil war there by the MSM.
Paleosimians...LOL!

Dammit man, when are we going to give them their own state so they can have a proper civil war like the Iraqis!

nope.. it is called "differing political factions"
It sounds like a QUAGMIRE.
This is a diversion.
Actually,a quick study of history reveals that many nations have a big civil war over some fundamental policy dispute :War Between the States,War of the Roses,Russian Whites and Bolsheviks,etc.THen we have the many South and CEntral American juntas....
Peace is so desired that people have always fought over it!
No... YOU are out of Order!!!
