Historically, I would say no. Looking at the amounts of bloodshed in what is typically deemed a civil war, Iraq is nowhere close. I would look at it more like I would a Bosnia, in that racial and religious hatred dating back to the beginning of time was leading to violence that required UN peacekeepers to quell the worst of it. While not a perfect analogy, I think that's closer than "civil war".
