Do you think that its possiable for us to be in a civil war again?

While the differences between the east and west are great, I truly can never imagine a geographic civil war in this nation again.\n\nWhat troubles me is the ideological battles that are fought daily in our country that could boil over if we continue to suffer under the kind of leadership George Bush has provided.  I don't think a liberal vs. conservative war would ever break out, but the body blows dealt to our national psyche by Iraq, the Hurricane Katrina response, the Patriot Act, NSA wiretapping of Americans, the "outing" of covert CIA agent Valerie Plame could do irreperable harm.\n\nFortunately, American citizens have one of the most powerful weapons available to fight such a war--a ballot on Election Day.  Hopefully, more will begin to see how truly life-changing it can be.

Don't have a clue as to who our next pres will be, still too many candidates out there.\n\nBut I don't think we are on the way to a civil war, I don't think that geographically we are divided enough and economically and viewpoint - wise, I think we all recognize that we can't stand on our own...

Yes to your first q,\n\nLike any relationship there were obstacles and fights... we are after all still human.

Leaders do not have to die for it to be a civil war.  It IS a civil war because you have one faction within a country fighting another faction inside that same country for control.  I don't care what the White House wants to call it, those who decide not to be ignorant will recognize a civil war when they see one.

Absolutely not!\n\nToo many have already died.  This war was a mistake.  We never should have invaded and now there's no easy way out.

If the Democrats and Republicans do not stop bickering, Americans might be involved in another great Civil War.

No. We are spread pretty thin right now. How many wars or peace keeping missions do you think that we can handle at one time? Let us try to to do all we can to try to prevent any more wars with other nations. We need to clean up our messes in Afghanistan and Iraq before we can get involved with another country.

I think it is. Without a state we would be overthrown by rebels.

i don't think there would be a civil war here, anyways not with Americans against Americans.... maybe Mexicans against Americans .........but then again i could be wrong, there are a lot of bleeding hearts out there that want the illegal Mexicans here for one reason or another? and yes i would fight along side my American brothers to defeat the invading forces ( that are already here)....

Probably not. We need to take our time to make sure this turns out the right way. If we try to leave to quickly the whole Iraq liberation would be a failure and we'd have another vietnam.

always that fear of civil war again. but as for disagreements, every country has them. can't make everybody happy. always the discontents. but this country has too much to offer, for it to break up. too many checks and balances.

Yes they are in civil war and until it is over and they decide who is going to lead them we won't know, it could be worse then Saddam before it is over. There is nothing that we can do to change it.

Only if we continue to live our lives and focus on enjoying our liberty and don't let them take our liberty through fear away from us.\n\nThe war will continue until the end of time, religious war has been on the earth since organized religion was born.  How we deal with hate and it's horrible effects on peace loving people around the world will ultimately determine if we are successful in defeating hate filled terrorists and their divisive endeavors.\n\nWe also need to support our troops who ultimately deal with those who hate our way of life most face-to-face bravely.\n\nThis is not a typical war and the theatre of operation is world wide, it’s a new day and we as peace loving people need to understand conventional warfare as our grand fathers and fathers knew it is over.

Lost cause. It will never be united. However, a civil war is impossible too. Most liberals don't even have the balls to bring up the FACT that the republicans have been literally stealing (yes, there's a reason CONservatives have been adamantly opposed to paper ballots) the elections. \n\nDemocracy is eroding and many people just don't care. Those losing their jobs, health care, etc, still haven't figured out who the right people are to vote for, much less how to participate in a civil war. \n\nNice thought though

We had a second war for independence?

It is and is going to become more unstable, there are too many factors there that made this civil war and who knows who likes it and who doesn't?\nIt will ruin US long-term interest, from Domino theory and great Middle East to Iraq oil but maybe there are good things about it that I don't know.

The American Civil War was worth fighting from all focal points. If it was not fought, African-Americans would still be under the evil of slavery. We also would not be the country that we are today; we would be split in two. North vs. South. Brother vs. Brother. Family vs. Family.\n\n   It has often been said that the Civil War was a turning point in America. In this great war, we Americans actually became Americans. We were not Northerners. We were not Southerners. We were Americans, and we still are today. And in the Civil War, people fought for what they believed, not because they were forced to, not for any reward, not for any kind of land, or money, or gain. They just fought for what they believed.\n\n\nP.S. Yoube72: LOL very funny! I'm a SW fan too.
