As for a fear of civil war, that cow has been out of the barn for some time.

Sheik Harith al-Dhari, head of the Association of Muslim Scholars in Iraq, has gone too far . . . again. Instead of reaching out to the Shia and Kurds, and expressing his heartfelt grief and regret that they have been oppressed for 6 centuries, he says this!
Perhaps the Iraqi government is right to try to arrest him. No self-respecting country can accept this level of treason and incitement.
We need to withdraw from Iraq immediately, or reconquer the whole country with 400,000. The Romans understood that when you go to war, you do it either as a punitive mission or as a war of occupation and assimilation. The U.S. foolishly tried to use a punitive force to prosecute a war of occupation, and now Humpty Dumpty is in pieces and we have egg on all our faces.
The neocons could have taken Pat Morita's advice in Karate Kid. Try to have it both ways and get squashed in the middle of the road.
Have you seen the documentary by Channel 4 news (Britain) concerning the Iraqi death squads?
