Is The United States In a ?Low Grade? Civil War?
2009-08-21 17:17:00
It is a chilling question and one that has been troubling me for about two weeks.  I read the “low grade civil war” phrase as a declarative statement from a commenter on a news story about the Congressional Town Hall meetings and it has been rattling in my brain ever since. I’ve been wanting to post ...

Are We Really Witnessing A Palestinian Civil War?
2008-12-30 16:46:00
This news item seems to suggest as much (h/t - Instapundit). It’s a strange world, but there you have it. I’ve been talking to friends of mine, former Palestinian Authority intelligence officials (ejected from power by the Hamas coup), and they tell me that not only are they rooting for the Israelis to decimate Hamas, but ...

The Dual Legacy of The Civil War
2008-10-25 20:24:00
Washington Post columnist George Will has made some great contributions to American letters. I’ve enjoyed reading many of his columns. But it seems he is still lost in an old-fashioned conservatism which is no longer alive. A recent column of his proves my point. There’s no doubt he makes a great point when he says that ...

Is the Hamas-Fatah civil war another scam?
2008-06-06 16:31:00
It is universally reported that Hamas and Fatah have been engaged in violence and have been massing arms in preparation for battle with each other. This is expected by most analysts to flare into a civil war. Of course it is possible that this is true, but there is little truth reported about the Palestinians, so ...

Whether Lebanon veered close to “civil war” this month?a question broached by many newspapers?seems purely academic at this point, and perhaps irrelevant. Beirut settled into a tenuous calm after Lebanon’s cabinet conceded (CNN) the immediate demands of Hezbollah, but the upheaval resolved none of the many issues destabilizing the country.

Zimbabwe: Headed for Civil War?
2008-04-27 00:03:00
Bloomberg.com Supporters of Zimbabwe's opposition Movement for Democratic Change have retaliated against attacks by President Robert Mugabe's Zimbabwe African National Union- Patriotic Front, New York-based Human Rights Watch said. ``The emergence of tit-for-tat retaliatory attacks between Zanu-PF and MDC supporters could further escalate the violence, putting the general population at greater risk,'' Human Rights Watch said in an e-mailed report. The violence follows the establishment by Zanu-PF supporters of torture camps in Zimbabwe's rural areas, HRW said. Zanu-PF is using the camps to punish hundreds of MDC supporters for voting for the opposition in the southern African nation's March 29 presidential and parliamentary elections, it said. The opposition MDC was poised to win control of the country's House of Assembly after 18 of the 23 contested seats were confirmed today, the chairman of the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission said. The victory would leave the southern Af...
