text: should we let iraqis troops deal with a civil war in case it happends? if a civil war happen in iraq, should us say out of it and let iraqi troops deal with it? if us intervenes in a civil war situation, then it's no more civil war. civil war by definition is a war that takes part between factions native to the same country on that country's sovereign territory. if us gets involved and as iraq is under occupation there can be no civil war.
