Is this civil war yet?

According to United Nations tallies of Iraqi deaths from the war, 1,778 civilians were killed in January, 2,165 in February, 2,378 in March, 2,284 in April, 2,669 in May and 3,149 in June, a total of 14,413 and the count does not not include Kurdistan. About 13% more civilians are killed every month.

Over the six months, the monthly average is 2402, or 80 a day. Clearly, the monthly average has picked up to over 100. Some days, 100 are killed in just 24 hours.
