Hussein was bad - no doubt about it. But there sure as hell wasn't any
sectarian violence, car bombers, people being pulled from their cars and
executed. Don't even try and convince me that the level of violence is
the same as when he was in power. Everyone from the average person to
American military officers realizes that what is happening now is
essentially a civil war.
depends on what you see as violence Saddams Butchers did their killing
in a tidier fashion than the various factions are now but SADDAM killed
10 k plus per year

The problem right now is that the American military is conceding that
Iraq is in a state of civil war. Iraq is a country that can only be held
together by a strong central leadership. The situation is reminiscent of
how Yugoslavia fell apart into regional in-fighting after Tito's death.

The situation in Iraq can only get worse and not better.
