The New York Times article is an Associated Press report concerning the Sunday attacks in Iraq. It reports that insurgents' attacks are continuing for the third straight day and have included ambushes, car bombs, and drive-by shooting, bringing the death toll since Friday to "at least 79," including six American soldiers (Iraq pp). The article suggests that the recent attacks of violence are well coordinated and that the timing points to a deliberate attempt to

deflate the hopes in "Washington and Baghdad that the installation of the Iraq's first democratically elected government would curb the uprising" (Iraq pp). Th

e article continues with descriptive accounts of the recent attacks. In the Zafaraniyah neighborhood of Baghdad, a car bomb exploded, killing four Iraqi civilians and wounding twelve, while in another part of Baghdad, "insurgents in three parked cars opened fire with hand guns on a police patrol in the western Jihad neighborhood, wounding four policemen" (Iraq pp). A suicide car bomber attacked near a water pump station in southeastern Baghdad, and South of Baghdad, a roadside bomb exploded, wounding four civilians (Iraq pp). Iraqi and U.S. officials had hoped that by including members of the Sunni Arab minority in the new Shiite-dominated Cabinet, the violence would subside the violence, however, approval of the Cabinet Thursday has been followed by an onslaught of bombings (Iraq pp). On Saturday April 30, at least five car bombs rock Baghdad, the heart of the Iraqi government and American occupation, and six more exploded in the northern city of Mosul (Iraq pp).

The Independent Bangladesh also reports on Bush's failings. It reminds its readers of Bush's announcement from the deck of an aircraft carrier on May 1 2003, that the major fighting in Iraq was over (Iraq2 pp). At that time, just weeks after invading Iraq, 138 American soldiers had died by that point, now, however, two years later and the continuing rise in terrorist attacks, the U.S. military's death toll tops 1,500 "while the Iraqi tally is too high to report accurately" (Iraq2 pp). According to the independent web site "Iraq Body Count" between 21,000 and 24,000 civilians have been killed as a result of the fighting since the beginning of the war (Iraq2 pp). Today, security is every Iraqi's dream but the new government faces a huge challenge to make it a reality (Iraq2 pp). Baghdadi, Shimeran Jassem, says, "Let them provide me with a job...If a citizen has a job and is earning a decent living, nobody can fool him anymore by paying him money to carry out a terrorist attack" (Iraq2 pp).
