Why fight in Iraq? The answer is in the faces of Iraq"s children.

This book is a collection of true accounts about everyday life: work, family relations, friendship, tough challenges, and the amazing daily dramas that life throws our way.

Whole blocs of "little guys"--ethnics, rural residents, evangelicals, cops, construction workers, and military veterans--have recently become Republican supporters.

The old way of thinking about U.S. politics--little-guy Democrats versus wealthy Republicans--is about as accurate and relevant today as a 1930 weather forecast.

Conservative ideology now appeals to greater numbers of the middle class and liberalism dominates among the educational and cultural elite.

The most significant conclusion to be drawn from the latest estimates of guerrilla numbers is that our fight in Iraq is militarily manageable, not a bottomless hole.

As Iraqis take back the reins of their country, and Americans celebrate the anniversary of their own revolution, it is time to reflect on the tests that lie ahead.

This fascinating book chronicles the guerilla war and reconstruction efforts to build a new and very different Iraq.
