xepherys - I think that the best you could argue was that there was a "cold" civil war going on, but the Kurds were/are by no means solely an Iraqi problem. Just ask the Turks. Then go back in time and ask the Ottomans.
As far as the Sunni vs. Shiia conflict, that was Saddam's creation for the most part, but it certainly wasn't a "hot" war. At best, it was state-sponsored repression of a group.
