		<description><![CDATA[Chalk it up as a bad week for democracy. A few days ago, Muqtada Al Sadr comes back from his extended vacation in Iran to restore a little of his special brand of sanity to the Iraqi Government in Baghdad.

Big suicide bomb, coordinated attacks on rescuers, dozens dead and wounded, and the customary &#8220;bears all the hallmarks of an Al Qaeda operation designed to ferment sectarian strife&#8221;.  It&#8217;s doubtful whether it had any effect on the tone of Robert [...]]]></description>
