"When you lose a child through an accident," she says, "you discover that you only have an illusion of control over your own fate.

A rash of car bombings against Shi'ite markets and neighborhoods over the past month has gone largely unanswered. Until now. Recent police reports indicate that the restraint of the Shi'ite death squads is coming to an end. Over 30 bodies were found shot execution-style in Baghdad on Monday, most thought to be reprisals carried out by Shi'ite militias...
