bush* really is a uniter, not a divider. WP: Shiites & Sunnis join forces.

On the streets of Baghdad neighborhoods long defined by differences of faith and politics, signs are emerging that resistance to the U.S. occupation may be growing from a sporadic, underground effort to a broader insurrection by militiamen who claim to be fighting in the name of their common faith, Islam.

On Monday, residents of Adhamiya, a largely Sunni section of northern Baghdad, marched with followers of Moqtada Sadr, the militant Shiite cleric whose call for armed resistance was answered by local Sunnis the same afternoon, residents said.

3. I've thought about his ridiculous quote

a few times. I laughed, sneered.

Now, it actually seems reasonable. I'm getting ready to go to work for the Democratic Party in Portland.

Yes, he's united me with all my fellow human beings on this planet, including the people in Iraq.
