The New Yorker again offers first-rate reportage from George Packer in Basra, Iraq. Much unappreciated in pre-invasion Washington was the searing memory of the U.S. encouraged uprising in March 1991. The U.S. looked on as thousands of rebellious Iraqis, including many Shi'is, were slaughtered by the Iraqi army.
Packer also offers important glimpses of Iran's game in the Shi'i south.
