"Civil War" - Iraq

[BLUEHAWK]

Here again lately, we are starting to hear the words "Civil War" being threatened or suggested by Iraqis who can get on the American news...

So, this causes me to wonder what it IS about Civil War in particular that makes it alone such a dire threat, over and above war of any kind?

Civil War is a kind of war in a class by itself?

Bluehawk,
I was always under the impression that a civil war was in a class by itself because it was the people of a nation fighting each other. Kind of like a family fued so instead of a nation uniting a common enemy it is so frightening that its one nation against each other.
