A year after the war began, their tolerance is exhausted. The lower rungs of society are fed up with the slow pace of reconstruction and unkept U.S. promises of a better life. Suspicion is rife that America's murky plans for a political transition on June 30 will somehow thwart Shi'ite claims to a rightful share of power.
