The truth is no Democrat in this century has done well with "hard-working white people," and Obama is polling better with this group than either Gore or Kerry.

Iraqi Unit Flees Post, Despite American's Pleas SHARE
Maybe the message the Iraqis are trying to send is that they don't want a civil war, no matter how much it fits George Bush's and John McCain's political agenda. "Every house in Sadr City probably has one of their sons in the Mahdi Army," said an Iraqi major. "So it is hard to convince people to believe in the Iraqi Army." So they left, taking a truckload of furniture with them.

Riding the Tiger: Muqtada al-Sadr and the American Dilemma in Iraq SHARE
Who is Muqtada al-Sadr? Is he just a "firebrand cleric," a description used so often in the US press that it seems to be part of his name? The Independent's Patrick Cockburn has the skinny.

Sacrificed to the Surge SHARE
Polygamy, veils, and virtual imprisonment in their own homes. Such is the fate of women in "liberated" Iraq -- and this in the regions controlled by our "moderate" allies. On the bright side, it's brought out a newfound cultural sensitivity on our part. Says an Army colonel, "In terms of what they're doing within their own culture, I don't think we'd intervene in that."
