Where is Baghdad?

What has happened to Iraq since this strange new war in the Middle East has broken out? Does anyone remember Baghdad, or does the daily report of 40, 50, 60 dead in car bombings, kidnappings, and beheadings no longer mean anything to the reading West? (To be honest, I'm pretty numbed; it always seems a little odd not to wake up to at least a 30+ body count on the NYT website...) Over the past month, things have gotten a lot worse, and I think most (distracted by Hezbollah, Israel, etc.) haven't realized how hopeless things now are in Baghdad. Here's a really nice feature from Foreign Affairs that may help to keep us focused. Make sure to check out the responses and discussion.
