Are we seeing the start of an all Arab civil war (fundamentalists v. non) that will spread throughout the middle east? Is that ultimately a good thing (from an academic view, of course, in the sense of getting finality, not for all of the innocent people whose lives will be lost or torn apart)?

No war with fundamantalists can ever be a good thing because by definition their struggle is endless and they don't care about dying. It would be a good thing in that it contrates Arab violence in Arab lands, theoretically keeping them too occupied to attack the West. But other than that, I don't see much good coming out of it.
The world is in a larger war between the informed and the hopelessly regressed and ignorant. That's not ending any time soon. Or at least not as long as madrases keep teaching kids to read that nonsense rag about Muhhamed and people over here keep depabting evolution. I guess the best we can hope for is the fools who believe in the voodoo of the past will put down guns and try to debate. Perhaps we could give bin Laden money to build an Islamic Creationist Museum.
