the civil war is down to the shia vs the sunni. it was fomented by other groups, but thats what it was intended to do.
Iraq has been this way for 1,000 years. The only reason it wasn't as violent before was because of the brutality of its leaders. Now that that particular stabilizing influence is gone, the insurgency needs to be gutted so the iraqi security forces can deal with the factions before it gets too much further out of hand.
