Iraq emerges from war a society divided by sect (AP)

In this Nov. 15, 2011 photo, a woman passes under posters for Shiite religious leaders and Shiite people who were killed during the sectarian violence at the primarily Shiite neighborhood of Hurriyah, in north Baghdad. Hurriyah, which means 'freedom' in Arabic, is symptomatic of much of Iraq: far quieter than at the height of the war but with an uneasy peace achieved through intimidation and bloodshed. The number of Iraqi neighborhoods in which members of the two Muslim sects live side-by-side and intermarry has dwindled. (AP Photo/Hadi Mizban)AP - The sounds of cars honking, shoppers shuffling and children laughing and playing drums fill the air in Hurriyah, a Baghdad neighborhood where machine-gun fire and death squads once kept terrified residents huddled in their darkened homes.
