There's a New Kind of War On In Iraq -- And It's Spreading

Tit-for-tat killings, roadside bombs and suicide strikes are rising -- and no sign of reconciliation between Sunni militias and the Iraqi government.

Two mass graves have been found in the village in the past few months.

Most of the violence has been in the one-restive province of Diyala, where U.S. protection of Sunni militias is waning.

A military operation that was said to target al-Qaeda has instead targeted Sunni Muslims, creating new sectarian tensions.

With temperatures sky-high and drought on its way, Iraqis in need of electricity are looking to Iran for relief.

While some Iraqis cautiously look towards Obama, many believe neither candidate will withdraw from Iraq anytime soon.

Iraqis who say they have seen dead bodies floating in rivers have good reason not to believe official figures of the war's death toll.

After more than five years of U.S. occupation, the Iraqi people dream of things that people in other countries take for granted.

Residents of Baquba have good reason to fear all sides in Iraq's muddled conflict.
