That civil war that is not taking place in Iraq has uprooted 100,000 families.

Sectarian violence has forced about 100,000 families across Iraq to flee their homes, a top Iraqi official said. At least 17 people, including an American soldier, were killed Saturday in fighting.

Adil Abdul-Mahdi, one of the country's two vice presidents, estimated on Friday that 100,000 Iraqi families — 90 percent of them his fellow Shiites — had fled their homes to escape attacks by rival religious sects.

I think the question of how history will judge Bush's Iraq war is being answered right before our eyes. I just hope that we finally learn this lesson once and for all.
