[quote user="spokyone"] FM I do not agree with your definition of civil war. SOOOO I went to Wikipedia and I do agree with their definition. A civil war is a war in which parties within the same culture, society or nationality fight against each other for the control of political power. Political scientists use two criteria: the warring groups must be from the same country and fighting for control of the political center,or to force a major change in policy. The second criterion is that at least 1,000 people must have been killed in total, with at least 100 from each side.<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_war#_note-0">[1]</a>Sure looks like Iraq is in civil war.[/quote]Then by that same definition the "Civil War" (aka the War Between the States) was not a civil war, since that was a case of the Union trying to bring the Secessionists back into the fold.  The Confederacy considered itself a separate nation after secession.No problem - time to get back on topic.
