Baghdad Sunnis, Shi'ites unite

From correspondents in Baghdad
April 07, 2004

SUNNI and Shi'ite residents of two Baghdad suburbs, once fierce enemies, said overnight they had put their differences aside to unite in their fight to oust the US occupying force from Iraq.

"All of Iraq is behind Moqtada al-Sadr, we are but one body, one people," declared Sheikh Raed al-Kazami, in charge of the radical Shi'ite cleric's offices at a mosque in the Shi'ite neighbourhood of Kazimiya, west of the Iraqi capital.

Well, of course he's saying that. Wishing it doesn't make it so.

The "cause" of what? Which one of the groups gets to fight for the scraps of Iraq? Cannot help but believe that they feel boosted by the lack of unity shown (around the globe) during the Sept. 11 Commission's Dog & Pony Show.

Here is hoping all the "hornets" end up in the nest of Fallujah.

Remember the Hitler-Stalin pact that started WW-II?

The militant Sunnis are getting together with the militant Shiites to try to drive out the US and eliminate the possibility of any democracy in Iraq. The Sunni/Baathists in western Iraq figure they can align with Syria, while the Shiites are likely in the pay of the Iranian mullahs

They would rather split iraq into two dictatotships that they can rule
