Quote of the Day

"No, but you have not yet had a situation also where you have two clearly defined and opposing groups vying not only for power, but for territory. What you do have is sectarian violence that seems to be less aimed at gaining full control over an area than expressing differences, and also trying to destabilize a democracy -- which is different than a civil war, where two sides are clashing for territory and supremacy."

Tony Snow, White House Press Secretary.

Main Entry: civil war
Function: noun
: a war between opposing groups of citizens of the same country
