The inability to talk about Iraq in an appropriate
context has been one of the greatest setbacks to the
anti-war movement here in the United States of
America, and to describe Iraq solely in terms of being
in civil war contributes to this problem. Iraq is
under occupation and the current rivalry between what
are indeed Iraqi factions has to be interpreted within
this context. The possibility of civil war in Iraq is
not the result of mismanagement on the part of the
Bush administration or some inherent hostility in
Iraqi society; civil war, rather, is and has always
been the favored alternative should the United States
fail to dominate Iraq politically. The pirates of both
the Right and Left side of the establishment agreed
before hand that if they could not steer the ship they
would sink it.
