And the problem with a civil war in Iraq is?
Well, once you get past the invalid and dishonest parts of Bush's 57 reasons We Need to Invade Iraq Right Now (WMDs, Al-Qaeda, Tried to kill Bush's Daddy, etc.) you're pretty much left with "Saddam tried to kill Bush's Daddy" and "Replacing the EEEVil dictator Saddam with a Democracy to protect the Iraqi people". Pulling off the latter requires that you leave them with something better than a civil war, though it's not clear that what they're getting right now _is_ better than a civil war.
