How can you reconcile these two statements?
If the insurgents continue to attack the Interim, and later Provisional, Government, then what
do you call it? Unrest?
Whilst I agree that Iraq
may not descend into a religious civil war, that's obviously the result that the terrorists are trying to provoke. Why else bomb mosques and churches? Indeed, a Shi'te mosque was just bombed hours ago with the deaths of over 13 people. How does that equate to insurgency?
Finally, because someone called Christian Parenti "downplayed" the prospect of civil war, this means it's automatically the truth? Hmmm... I should ask him for next week's Lotto numbers.
