I don't think Iraq is quite in a state of civil war yet but I don't see how one can be prevented from eventually breaking out. All that is needed is a very small number of unhappy people to commit one atrocity and then the other side has the excuse they need to fire right back. Eventually things will spiral out of control. That fact the conflict is religious in nature only serves to guarantee that each side will have some people unwilling to let the matter go and work towards peace.
