Reply #136: And their centuries-long history of no civil war doesn't seem to indicate

[LynnTheDem]

it's unlikely they'll have one now?

And the reason why I "argue like a mantra" is because I, just like those I most respect such as Juan Cole, Sy Hersh and Robert Fisk, don't believe there will be a civil war and the bushCartel are only chanting civil war as a justification for remaining in Iraq especially when the latest polls show a clear majority of Iraqis wanting US troops out like NOW and Americans now a majority saying Iraq was a mistake.

And I would imagine that's also why Cole and Fisk and Hersh have "argued like a mantra".
