Violent acts by either Sunni militants or Shi'ite militiamen come almost every day in Iraq. U.S. military officials say violent incidents in Iraq have been slightly below 100 per week for the past 10 weeks and regard the trend as a sign of success. But that level of violence is more than enough to keep most people on edge. "From what we see on a daily basis, the war is still going on," says Salim Kamel Shawal, who runs...
