So those guys can now go to AFGHANISTAN (yank, yank, yo-yo, yo-yo).
"Feuding Iraqis reach agreement; UMass figure led talks on reconciliation" by Farah Stockman, Globe Staff | July 4, 2008
UMass?
Aren't those the same guys that honored that monster Mugabe?
WASHINGTON - Nearly two dozen leaders from Iraq's feuding factions who were brought together under the aegis of a University of Massachusetts at Boston professor are slated to unveil an agreement tomorrow aimed at healing the ethnic and sectarian rifts in their country.
The agreement - hammered out during privately funded reconciliation meetings in Helsinki - includes public commitments from key members of the majority Shi'ite and minority Sunni parties. The pact calls for banning militias from operating outside the law and for reintegrating personnel from Saddam Hussein's dissolved army into Iraq's new institutions, according to a copy provided to the Globe.
Perhaps the most important aspect of the agreement is that it will be announced at the Al Rashid Hotel in Baghdad, marking the first time that participants in the effort have felt safe enough to gather inside their own country.
What are the odds it will be hit by a "terrorist" attack?
The pact involves general commitments in principle, and is not expected to have an immediate effect on the ground.
Then WHY, pray tell, is it the FRONT-PAGE LEAD?
O'Malley's initiative is one of two privately organized reconciliation efforts that have been trying to get Iraq's various political factions to work together. The International Institute for Sustained Dialogue, a Washington-based conflict resolution organization, has held meetings since 2005 in which it took Iraqi parliamentarians to Beirut and Cairo to talk about reconciliation.
Secrecy and a safe foreign location were key to ensuring participation....
Why? It's a "democracy," isn't it?
But the level of security required - including walls around segregated neighborhoods and eight checkpoints to enter the Green Zone for tomorrow's meeting - serve as a grim reminder of how far Iraq has to go.
Hey, it is LIBERATION and FREEDOM!
I never believed in the "sectarianism" to begin with:
Memory Hole: The Dream Vacation
Memory Hole: The Uniters of Islam
Occupation Iraq: Sectarian Saviors
Case closed on AmeriKa's MSM and its PROPAGANDA SHOVELING, folks!
Yeah, so much tension between the two that they intermarried and lived together for centuries without blowing up each others mosques and killing each other -- until the U.S. invaded, that is!
CUI BONO?
