Hatfields and McCoys...Iraq style

Okay so maybe that headline trivializes a situation that is a little more important than the old Hatfield/McCoy feud, but it does suit what is going on in Iraq right now. HOWEVER...there is good news on the Shi'ite/Sunni front. This week the Sunni Bloc in the Iraqi Parliament has returned to work after their boycott of the Shi'ite majority government.

The Accordance Front, as the Sunni group is called, is the largest Sunni group in the parliament and their return to the parliament is a step in the right direction. We will see if the Iraqi government can get some of the important legislation passed so that their country will have some stability that it so desperately needs. Besides that, it will certainly help the war effort here in the USA.
