If recent events are any indicator, conflict in Iraq between the Shiite government and Sunni protestors is heating up to the point where civil war may be inevitable. Just this last week there was a marked increase in terror attacks. More than 77 were killed on Monday alone and the total of the week amounts to around 250, including two dozen government-aligned police officers. Now the conflict is going even further, as the Sunni tribal leaders have stepped forward to demand that they be made into an autonomous region or the violence will continue.
