Those civil wars were caused by the Cold War though. If there was no cold war, there would have been no strife and thus no conflict in which to fight a civil war.
Just my opinion, of course.
Anyway, M36; bear in mind you are not the only veteran on here who enlisted in a time of war nor the first to serve before going to college. :P

Yea, that’s right, my kids can say “My Momma wore combat boots and kick your daddy’s butt down the street while eating a bagel and not even get any crumbs on her blouse while doing it!” :P
And, for the record, we were there securing the zone before the Marines showed up. But, gotta admit, it was fun having Marines there to chauffeur us along and open doors. Make bad coffee though. Good thing the Air Force was there! wink
But I think that’s getting a wee bit off topic, nay?
The terrorist war is WWIV. One side cannot fight a war. You have to have two sides, and now there are two sides. I suspect the islamo-fascists are rather irked that Christians and Jews seem to be living the life Islam and Mohamed promised them. While it is they who in fight amongst themselves and keep each other repressed. So, like all cultures who are failing due to their own faults, they find some rich guy and blame him. (We do that as well, we always blame the rich, instead of realizing they pay for all our social services and keep our economy going.) America and Israel are the rich guys in this case.
