There is not yet a level of orginisation in and between the different sunni and shiite groups for it to be a proper civil war. The attacks and killing at the moment are not real efforts to gain and consolidate control of territory. The groups that do have exert control over a local area do not have the means to project military power over other areas, only sporadic terrorist attacks. The Kurds do but it does not seem like they would take this option unless for the defence of their territory. For there to be a civil war I think the groups fighting at the moment would have to be much larger in scale (perhaps like the groups in Afghanistan). Time will tell I guess.
