It was stunning how natural it looked, how quickly armed men seemed the norm, how nobody seemed to bat an eye, even though the heart of Baghdad now looked like the heart of Kabul.
The atmosphere in Iraq has completely changed. In just a week, a fading guerrilla war has exploded into a popular uprising. “Six months of work is completely gone,” said a State Department official working in southern Iraq. “There is nothing to show for it.”
