So Ron shifts ground once again.

"there is still a big potential for civil war in Iraq" somehow has been translated to the criteria defining civil war to being a, "country where at least 400 have been killed in the last week in civil conflict"

The report of there being sixty ongoing civil wars/conflicts was prepared by the Universities of Vancouver and Uppsalla and delivered to the UN.

While you are asking questions Ron, how about answering a few that you seem to have studiously ducked:

1. Instance of when the Iraqi Government requested that British Troops withdraw from Basra on a permanent basis.

2. Instance of when the British Government refused that request.
