Although reports of clashes between Iraqi nationalist groups and religious extremists linked to al-Qaeda remain difficult to quantify, there are signs that at least in some parts of Iraq, the tension is boiling over.

The decision to detonate depends more on a question of personal shame than religious or nationalist avidity-which doesn't seem very realistic either. But if the filmmakers err on the side of humanity, neither are there any blunderbuss "Can't we all just get along?" messages. The confused normality of the two young men is horrific enough...
