The #es are threating civil war, the Sunni's are threatening civil war, and who's stuck in the middle? The US.
What do you do to stop a civil war? We can't get in the middle to make them stop shooting, they all want to shoot at us anyway.
All I can think of is to arrest the leaders of these seperate movements that want civil war, but this may not be the solution either.

Another uprising by Shiite Muslim cleric Muqtada al-Sadr's followers could happen if Iraqi authorities continue raiding his offices and detaining his
followers. Top Shiite cleric Grand Ayatollah Ali Husseini al-Sistani brokered a Najaf peace deal with rebel cleric Muqtada al-Sadr about a month
ago.

Earlier this week, U.S. troops raided al-Sadr's office in the southern holy city of Najaf and detained about a dozen people. The move angered al-Sadr's followers as well as Iraq's top Shiite cleric, Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, who said it violated a peace deal he brokered.
"This aggression is a serious precedent in the new Iraq and for the state which has thrown itself in the arms of the occupation," said sheik Hashim Abu Regheef in a sermon attended by hundreds of worshippers outside nearby Kufa Mosque.
U.S. and government forces "are trying to finish off this movement," he said.

What happened to the three-state solution to Iraq that was brought up in late '03?? It proposed dividing Iraq into 3 states with the Kurds in the
north, the Sunnis in the middle, and the Shiites in the south. As more uprisings occur and violence continues to flare perhaps we should take another
look at this proposal, but that would make sense.
