...find peace instead of an unending civil war. But you destroyed a perfectly clear historical perspective by claiming that "There could be no more bitter legacy of the Bush Administration's fateful decision to go to war in Iraq" than an intramural death match between the two groups. This conflict has been going on for centuries. To blame it on the Bush Administration instead of those responsible - the self-righteous mullahs and alleged holy men such as Muqtada al-Sadr - is to allow your political bias to creep into your reporting.

...grew again, a niece or a granddaughter born in francophone Canada this fall. “Sophia au bain-bain!” a woman wrote, with an unopenable attachment of photographs. “Sophie en rose.” The messages have become more topical, given the conflict in the Arab world and Ali’s abiding relationship with the Zaytuna Institute.

After curfew in Samarra, in Iraq’s volatile Sunni triangle, two Iraqi teenagers approach an American checkpoint. Unarmed...
...attempts to suppress the abusive English Black and Tans alongside the Irish Republican Army (IRA). After a long and plodding exposition, Damien and his brother Teddy (Padraic Delaney) end up fighting each other in battle, the result of an English treaty which causes Irish civil conflict. While the Irish Civil War has not often been explored in film before, Loach presents an uninspired movie. The boring setup of “Barley” is the least of the film’s troubles. The story is long and full of many complicating factors that overtake the film. Subplots meant...
