...know what we did / And who did what to who and who the hell you tryin’ to kid.” The anguished “Where Is My Love?” again reflects the recent sorrow of Williams’ life. Her grainy, Southern voice breaks at times, becoming scratchy and torn in a cry of despair, only made more powerful by violins wailing in the background. However, despite Williams’ somber subject matter and the melancholy melodies that permeate the album, she doesn’t leave the listener entirely hopeless, though...

Shi'ite militias in the capital appear to be standing down and not challenging U.S. and Iraqi forces as they attempt to quell the bombings and bloodshed that have gripped the city for the past year. That leaves insurgent Sunnis as the main target of the effort. "In effect," Cordesman says, "both the U.K. and the U.S. may end up acting to expand Shi'ite influence in very different ways." That...
