The sophisticated bomb technology behind some of the deadliest improvised explosive devices (IEDs) in Iraq came from neighboring Iran, said U.S. military officials in Baghdad on Sunday.

During the summer war in the Middle East there were white middle-class demonstrators waddling around under placards saying, we are all Hizballah now. They're suffering from what Paul Berman calls rationalist naivete. They think there must be historical reasons why this is happening, and this is all our fault.
