...which 558 U.S. troops have died along with 101 other foreign soldiers and an estimated 10,000 Iraqi civilians. Americans have mostly watched the saga unfold from afar, but for Iraqis the car bombs, shootings and roadblocks have become part of daily life, a regimen in which new opportunities coexist with the most terrifying of dangers...

Roadside bombs, or improvised explosive devices, as the U.S. military calls them. RPGs. Mortar fire. Suicide car bombs.
