For decades Abu Nawas Street was one of Baghdad's most famous landmarks. Now this place, named for a 9th century poet and famous for its art galleries, is becoming an unlikely gauge of progress in the 52-month-old Iraqi war. Gen. David Petraeus, America's top soldier in Iraq, is expected to report to Congress next month on a $5 million project to refurbish and reopen Abu Nawas Street. It's still far from clear how the Abu Nawas story will play out. And it will likely be months, if not years, before the street could return to its former stature. (AP Photo/Jerome Delay, File)
