Sevenths anniversary of Iraq War passes with little notice
The seventh anniversary of the U S invasion drew little notice at home with casual remarks by Raleigh residents. While thousands remain in Iraq and deaths exceed 4,400, many focus on Afghanistan, the economy, and health care reform. Protests appeared in Milwaukee, while some veterans and civilians reflected on the war’s fading public emphasis.

Iraqis look ahead with hope and fear on poll results
Iraqis mark seven years since the invasion with mixed feelings as final results from the second nationwide parliamentary election approach. Prime Minister Nouri al Maliki's coalition leads in seven of eighteen provinces with about 40,000 votes ahead, while Sunni and secular voices warn of lingering sectarian tensions and possible power vacuums after a U.S. withdrawal. Attacks persist in small numbers, with five killed in separate incidents across Baghdad and Mosul, underscoring ongoing insecurity and fragile sovereignty.
