What's the difference between "sectarian violence" and "civil war" |
|
Yahoo headline "90 die in sectarian violence". Is that civil war?

4. Sectarian usually implies that religion is involved |
|
Most civil wars have have a religious component to them, but not necessarily.

5. "Civil war" has fewer letters? |
|
"Sectarian Violence" is between sects; it can sometimes be extremely LOCALIZED, like what we call "Gang Warfare" in some US cities.
But when the point is reached where there is NO sect in a particular nation which is NOT involved in the "sectarian violence", it's a "civil war".
Whether the US media admits it or not.

6. until recently war was between uniformed opposing forces. |

now bush has declared war on a word....terror.
sectarian violence is them killing each other. covertly
both sides kill Americans. overtly

7. Civil war is more easily recognized. |
|
Bush-types think the other is what happens when secretaries get mad at each other.
