no, spuriousmonky! terrorists HATE freedom. the purple finger represents freedom. the boogeymen in the closet are just brutal killers, not politically minded rebels that are fighting a foreign occupier. geez! those "terrorists" should be more like the vichy french. THEY had some balls. /sarcasm
Hmm, I don't know for sure. But I don't think so! I think it's two different religious groups, Sunnis and Shiites, who are killing each other out of revenge and hatred. Can one call that "civil war"? In Los Angeles, the two groups, the black gangs and the Mexican gangs, are fighting and killing each other out of revenge and hatred. Is that, too, a "civil war"? One of the problems that I see in calling it a civil war in Iraq, is that I've seen nor heard anything about the political aspirations or goals of either group. Is it "civil war" just because a few of the radical people of the two groups, religious groups, are fighting and killing? What percentage of the people must be involved in the conflict in order to call it a "civil war"? If just two people are fighting, can that be called a "civil war"? What's a "civil war"? Baron Max
Nope, I watch NBC News. So ....what have I missed on Fox News? Did they give a reliable definition of "civil war" and thus prove that Iraq was experiencing a "civil war"? I'm unsure of what you're trying to say or imply, Spurious. Can you help me out with a bit more of an explanation? Baron Max
Actually I am only interested in what Buffalo Roam has to say. I am in the middle of an important scientific process.
So location makes a difference in the definition of "civil war"? As I see it, in Iraq, it's mostly, if not all being fought in Baghdad. So ...again you confuse me, Spurious. Baron Max
Who's "terryoh"? And why should anyone believe what he/it says? Is he/it some acknowlegded authority on "civil war"? Or Iraq? Baron Max
Does this mean you agree with Baron max who is confused on the whole matter and have no opinion yourself?
spuriousmonkey, I had no problem understanding Baron Max's post, what is your problem? You need to brush up on your reading and comprehension skills.
