You know, I thought about that last night, and just musing over the words, the phrase, and what constitutes it. … It clearly is being stimulated by people who would like to have what could be characterized as a civil war and win it, but I’m not going to be the one to decide if, when or at all.” </blockquote> Interview with Don Rumsfeld, July 30, 2007: Wolf Blitzer, CNN: "Sec. Rumsfeld, a year ago on the question of the existence of an Iraqi civil war, you said that it was clearly being stimulated by people who would like to have what could be characterized as a civil war. A year later, we still have the same number of troops in Iraq, and the violence and attacks from Iraqis fighting each other are pretty much at the same level. Do you still feel that way today?" Don Rumsfeld: "Look, I didn't say that. What I said was that I <em>suspected</em> it was being stimulated by people." Don Rumsfeld: July 26, 2006:

After all, we're just a bunch useless liberals, peaceniks who wouldn't know "democracy on the march" if it bit us in our collective asses. The thing is, many of us who are saying Iraq is a civil war situation are family members of military. Or soldiers themselves. Veterans.

Most people wont realize the damage that thees imbiciles have done to America until it is time to pay the piper, by then, they are long gone. Every action in life comes with consequences - good or bad. Its the immutable law of the universe. But, sadly most of our countrymen are more concerned about which movie star is screwing whom, and who will be the next idol. This is insanity at its best.
