Yair, in reality, I'd prefer not to make predictions. Except to say civil wars are always even more tragic than foreign wars, because brother does literally fight brother and a great many civilians also usually end up dead.
It's said that those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it. From where I sit, it seems that a great many Americans have learned nothing about the US civil war. Simply look at the origins of so many of the belligerent ignoramuses who seem so eager to start shooting other people. Doesn't seem to have sunk in, that those people will actually shoot back. IF the hostiles don't fear their own deaths perhaps they should fear the deaths of anyone and anything they love which may take generations to recover from.
