...support of foreign terrorists linked to al-Qaeda. But increasingly what was happening in Iraq was a sectarian war between the Sunni minority and the Shi'ite majority. The country that Americans had set out to democratize had, on closer inspection, voted to break apart. A spiral of tit-for-tat massacres in ethnically mixed Baghdad and the surrounding provinces ensured that the disintegration would happen in the bloodiest possible way.

...Hamas and Fatah militiamen have clashed repeatedly in the last three weeks, including on three separate occasions in just the last two days. Early Monday morning, three men were killed in Khan Yunis during a shoot-out between the factions that followed a series of tit-for-tat kidnappings. On Tuesday morning, trouble ensued in Gaza City after Hamas gunmen approached the heavily guarded house of a Fatah official; bullets again flew, injuring nine people, including five children. That same afternoon, at the funeral of a Fatah foot soldier killed the prior morning, gunfire erupted again, injuring three more...
