...father and two older brothers, thrusting Muqtada into the limelight. But Iraq's sectarian hatreds are rooted in religious, social and economic resentments stretching back over 1,000 years. Like rulers before him, Saddam exploited the Shi'ite-Sunni divide for his own purposes. The scenes from his execution suggest Iraq's new rulers are not all that different...
...Washington Post found that a dozen House and Senate leaders had taken corporate jets at least 360 times between January 2001 and December 2004-some of them averaging trips as often as once every 10 days. Two thirds of those flights happened on Thursday, Friday or Saturday, which suggest they had become a taxi service for lawmakers on the way home to their districts at the end of the week.

Instead, an unfortunate history may be repeating itself...
...situation. To be sure, even a doubling of U.S. forces in Baghdad may not be enough to hold down violence in a vast city of roughly 7 million people where powerful militias bent on sectarian war are allowed to remain. But there are pockets of success that suggest greater efforts by U.S. forces may be able to stabilize quarters of the city that otherwise would become sectarian killing grounds...
