U.S. forces are engaged in some of the most intense combat since the height of the insurgency. Once again. they are battling Iraqi militias. not al Qaeda. in the markets. homes and alleyways of Baghdad. April 2008 was the deadliest month for Iraqi civilians since last August. The U.N. now reports that 4.7 million Iraqis have been forced by violence to leave their homes. Roughly 2 million of them are refugees in neighboring countries. And another 2.7 million are internally displaced. What is worse. we dont even have the decency to pay for this war. which has created a mountain of debt that American taxpayers will be paying off for years to come.
