LA Times calls it a "civil war"

I believe this may be the first time that a major U.S. newspaper has actually referred to the conflagration in Iraq as a "civil war." From the LA Times:

BAGHDAD — Iraq's civil war worsened Friday as Shiite and Sunni Arabs engaged in retaliatory attacks after coordinated car bombings that killed more than 200 people in a Shiite neighborhood the day before.
