It's a Civil War, Dammit

...and it has been for some time.  Civil War, Sectarian Violence, Al Qaida in Iraq, call it whatever you will, it's out of control, thousands of Americans have died, and if it's not getting worse, it's surely not getting any better.
 
So what's the big deal with the fucking semantics of it all?  Alter puts it into proper perspective here, including highlighting the timing of NBC News' decision to go forward with the 'Civil War' term. 
 
Just imagine the uproar if they made this decision two weeks before the election.
