...restive Sunni triangle town where four U.S. security men were killed last week, a Shiite uprising over the weekend saw Coalition troops under fire in Baghdad, Najaf, Kufa, Nasiriyah, Amara and Basra. Eight Americans and one allied soldier were killed in the fighting and 36 were wounded; the death toll among Iraqis was almost 50, with hundreds wounded. Fighting raged on Monday in Baghdad as U.S. troops clashed with militiamen loyal to the firebrand cleric Moqtada al-Sadr. The new uprising would not be tolerated and would be suppressed, warned U.S. viceroy J. Paul Bremer on Monday. Hours later...

The American government’s unilateral efforts and contempt for international law have also distanced the U.S. from the international community. There are no signs that the world is a safer place today than it was a year ago, despite the invasion...

The completion of an interim constitution offered a swatch of hope, even if the signing ceremony fell apart at the last moment. The horrifying death toll in ever more brutal bombings gave a reminder of all that remains to be done. No matter who wins in November, the challenge of fulfilling America's promise in Iraq will be with us for years to come...
