...Nepal "and other lapdogs of the Jews and the Christians," adding: "Do not sympathize with this impure group. They have left their country and traveled thousands of kilometers to work with the crusader American forces and to support its war against Islam and the holy warriors." It was the bloodiest incident in Iraq's five-month plague of kidnappings, which have involved more than 100 hostages from 20 countries...
...April was the bloodiest month of the Iraq war so far. Now the Bush Administration and U.S. military commanders are adding insult to injury. After fierce battles with insurgents in Fallujah, the military has agreed to turn over command to a new militia headed by former Iraqi army officers. What's the point of this? It seems that the American soldiers who made the ultimate sacrifice at Fallujah died for nothing. And that is what George W. Bush calls progress? This war has never been about WMD threats or Saddam Hussein. It is about an Administration's obsession with power...
...critics will not fail to disapprove of the University’s choice, however, and the Secretary-General’s career, to be sure, does contain some troubling missteps. Kofi Annan and the U.N.’s peacekeepers have been painfully absent from some of the bloodiest conflicts of the ’90s.

It's not yet over, but April has been the bloodiest month of the war, with some 93 coalition troops and upward of 1,000 Iraqis killed in clashes in the Sunni Triangle and the Shiite neighborhoods of the capital and some of the southern cities. Wednesday's terror attack in Basra that killed 68 Iraqis underscored the sense of security...
...freed them from a heinous dictator. In cities across Iraq, Shi'ite militants united behind the goal of casting off the yoke of occupation by killing or capturing any foreigner, military or civilian, they came across. Together with the fighting in Fallujah, the Shi'ite uprising produced the bloodiest eruption of violence since the war began. In the past week, 46 U.S. soldiers and more than 460 Iraqis were killed. Seemingly overnight, an uprising by the country's previously peaceful majority--a specter that has haunted U.S. planners and could doom chances for democracy in Iraq--went from remotely plausible...
