Paul Krugman writes: "The public hates this war, no longer has any trust in Mr. Bush's leadership and doesn't believe anything the administration says. Iraq was a big factor in the Democrats' midterm victory. And far from being a risky political move, the confrontation over funding has overwhelming popular support: According to a new CBS News poll, only 29 percent of voters believe Congress should allow war funding without a time limit, while 67 percent either want to cut off funding or impose a time limit."

Classes are missed. The young men also display their own guns, kept to defend their families from the constant and unpredictable violence outside. Watch for an unexpected moment of levity at the end.

The number of Iraqi refugees continues to grow exponentially. More than two million Iraqi refugees have fled from persecution and sectarian violence, mostly traveling to Jordan and Syria.

Since April 2003, the Bush administration has admitted exactly 692 Iraqi refugees into the US, and the number of those in need is growing by an estimated 50,000 a month.
