...armor officer, more used to dealing with tanks and cannons than Iraqi politicians. Yet in Karbala he was a civil-affairs official, doing work he felt was more for a diplomat than a soldier.

At Landing Zone Washington, the main helipad inside the Green Zone, Freeman spotted Senators John Kerry and Christopher Dodd, who were on a visit to Iraq. He introduced himself and began voicing some...

There is an economic motive for France's power play as well: among the topics explored was how French companies could develop the Libyan economy better than their U.S., British or German rivals...
...night - of a single Iraqi identity ought to have done more to reassure anxious U.S. policymakers than endless declarations of intent by the politicians in Baghdad. The game has a long history of helping bring a halt, although often just temporary, to civil hostilities.
