#1 I think "civil war" is the latest meme to be circulated around, that somehow what is happening now is more civil-war-ish then what was going on before.

#3 Civil war is a goodie-but-oldie meme. Been floated more or less constantly by MSMers since at least the end of 2003. First it was the Yugoslav analogy (cf Peter Galbraith, multiple articles in the NY Review of Books), then Lebanon. Of course, that last analogy vanished in the light of recent events, so the latest one I've seen is Latin American: Iraq as an arab Colombia.

#4 I thought Afghanistan was supposed to be the Arab Columbia. Silly me, I always did have a bit of a problem with geography. ;-)
