...underground to take a walkabout in two Baghdad neighborhoods. He seemed awkward but animated, surrounded by adoring citizens, even kissing a baby. As with every Saddam sighting, this one--plus a videotaped speech broadcast earlier that day in which he urged citizens to rise up against the Americans--triggered endless speculation about body doubles and other cinematic tricks. But intelligence analysts in the U.S. and elsewhere mostly concurred that this was truly Saddam.

But the Bush Administration has managed to delay the U.S. Congress' antiembargo...
...that their sons had died in sordid skirmishes whose names nobody had heard of or--like the six Americans killed when their helicopter crashed in Afghanistan last week--in accidents far from home. Guerrilla warfare may have fine American antecedents, but we have always recoiled from accepting a slow, endless drip of casualties from contests whose stated purpose we have long forgotten. Soon we may have to get used...
