Democrats Target Rumsfeld

As happy as I am that the Democrats, among others are calling for the resignation of Rumsfeld, todays article in the Washington Post, made me wonder. Is it possible that history could repeat itself, and we could face the possibility of another civil war? Only this time in place of North v South, it would be Democrats v Republicans. Let's hope not, and I know it might sound silly to even consider it, but looking at the similarities of the politicians in 1860 and the current day, it raises room for question and wonder.

I read this article this morning, and although I do agree that Rumsfeld should be outed asap, the back and forth between Dem's and Republicans reminded me of my 10 and 11 year old sons. They appear to be children, with the sole focus of winning their argument, not truly effecting change. Hence, when the goal of the fight is to win in place of compromise or real change, is it unreasonable to assume that Civil War is not a possibility?

Our leaders need to focus on working together to obtain a solution, and bring and end to the conflict between the parties, or unfortunately we are all screwed.
