Brink of civil war: the great leap forward

That drinking game I suggested on Tuesday is bad - too much drinking.

But as long as you use very mind drink, add these:

One sip:

- media mentions that Gaza is on the brink of civil war.

Three sips:

- media mentions a three-state solution.

What's the deal with the "brink of civil war" or "risk of civil war" that everyone mentions, anyway? One could think that when the President's army and the Prime Minister's army are continuously shooting at each other, taking towns and bases from each other, shooting at peace demonstrations, killing YK employees, etc., it might mean that the civil war already has started, right?

Or maybe it's just their peace process.
