Can US, Britain 'win' in Iraq?: Expanding insurgency, signs of civil war have some experts asking the question out loud.

As the number of suicide bombings in Iraq has risen dramatically, and as insurgents return to areas from which they had been driven by coalition forces in previous months, more terrorism and security experts are asking if Iraq has become an "unwinnable war" for the US and its coalition partners.
John Burns writes in Sunday's New York Times that "events are pointing ever more the the possibility" that Iraq is entering a period of civil war. Mr. Burns points out that the number of killings in the past week and a half in Iraq has quickened at such a pace that many Iraqis now believe that a civil war has already started.
