In for a Basra, in for a Gettysburg...
The romance of Civil War necessitates a spark, a clear starting point.0 comments
Civil wars tend not to creep into a land on tiny cat's paws.
There's usually a BOOM! or a confrontation, and off ya go!
In George Bush's eyes, the Iraq Civil War may not begin until, oh, perhaps, their version of Appomattox.
But, for the rest of us, we seem well past Gettysburg here, and The New York Times just supplied the Fort Sumter BOOM! with the words, "Full-Scale."
7 Killed as Full-Scale Sectarian Fighting Rages in Baghdad
Full-Scale means you're in.
It's officially a Civil War.
Period.
