Calling it what it is…Civil War

LA Times online headline at their homepage

Attacks intensify as the Iraqi civil war worsens

Title of article

Civil war worsens</blockquote

First paragraph…

Baghdad, Iraq — Iraq’s civil war worsened Friday as Shiite and Sunni Arabs engaged in retaliatory attacks in the wake of coordinated car-bombings that killed more than 200 people in a Shiite slum the day before — even as a main Shiite political faction threatened a walkout, a move that likely would lead to the government’s collapse and plunge the nation deeper into disarray.

UPDATE: Interesting. The title of the article last night was “Civil war worsens.” But it has changed and now it is…

Wave of retaliation sweeps Iraq

The above is also what appears now on the homepage. The first paragraph remains the same.
