BREAKING NEWS: At least 10 dead, 40 wounded in new Baghdad bombing, police say.

BAGHDAD, Iraq - Two nearly simultaneous bombs struck a predominantly Shiite commercial area in central Baghdad, killing at least 78 people and wounding at least 156, said Deputy Health Minister Hakim al-Zamili.

The U.S. military also reported the deaths of two Marines in a particularly bloody weekend for American forces in Iraq.

The first blast, a parked car bomb, tore through stalls of vendors peddling DVDs and secondhand clothes shortly after noon in the Bab al-Sharqi market between Tayaran and Tahrir squares—one of the busiest parts of Baghdad. Seconds later a suicide car bomber drove into the crowd. Police estimated that each car was loaded with nearly 220 pounds of explosives.

Now tell me...is this civil war or terrorism?
Was watching "The Kings: From Babylon to Baghdad" on the history channel yesterday and realized no matter what we do or don't do... there will ALWAYS be civil war in Iraq. :ohwell:

So you consider this to be an act of civil war instead of terrorism?

Yep. Especially after watching that show yesterday. The existence of the individual factions date back to 4xx B.C. and have been unable to live peacefully together ever because the factions were founded on disagreeing with each other. I don't see how that will ever change. I do believe that the current escalation we are seeing was egged on by embedded foreign terrorists cells. What better way to ensure failure for the Americans.
