Signs of a Civil War Coming
You know if the media around the globe are desperate for there to be a Civil War, and it doesn't look like it's quite happening in Iraq, they could start reporting on the growing political violence in Gaza, which seems to have all the earmarks of a Lebanese type Civil War to me. But, of course, I'm not eager for there to be a Civil War anywhere, so maybe it's just the brink of a Civil War in Gaza. Money quotes:
Gunmen stormed the main government compound in Gaza, opening fire randomly in the air and battling police.
A gun battle broke out when gunmen blocked a main road and attacked a convoy going to meet the police chief.
Members of an armed affiliate of the mainstream Fatah party, which lost recent polls, are protesting over jobs.
There were at least five attempts by members of the al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades to disrupt government activities on Monday - a day after the victorious Islamist group Hamas named its new cabinet.
The most serious was when about 30 militants charged the foreign and finance ministries and exchanged fire with security forces.
Two gunmen and two security officials were wounded - one of them hit by stray bullets in the legs as other employees ran for cover.
Mmy guess, however, is that we'll hear very little about a Palestinian Civil War. Unless the reporters can figure a way to blame it on the current administration.
