Default can we call it a civil war yet?

Quote:
Michael Ware, CNN:"This is what we're talking about. We're talking about Sunni neighborhoods shelling Shia neighborhoods, and Shia neighborhoods shelling back.

We're having Sunni communities dig fighting positions to protect their streets. We're seeing Sunni extremists plunging car bombs into heavily-populated Shia marketplaces. We're seeing institutionalized Shia death squads in legitimate police and national police commando uniforms going in, systematically, to Sunni homes in the middle of the night and dragging them out, never to be seen again."
so if the Shia Iraqi government is in open war with the Sunnis, who are the good guys and what is the mission for the US troops ?
