MNF: Sunni, Shia March Together in Baghdad for Peace [LINK-ZUM]

Approximately 1,000 Iraqi citizens, of both Shia and Sunni religions, joined together on the sectarian fault line in Rawaniyah, the Karkh District of Baghdad, to march with one another in what they called a "Peace March," Dec. 19. [...] With Iraqi Army and Iraqi policemen maintaining the security on the streets and within the crowd during the event, they were able to successfully complete the march for united peace among all Iraqis.

[Article continues at link. I am always glad to report the advance of secular values like tolerance of difference among advocates of superstition like Muslims. I never get to do as much reporting of good news as I'd like. And I'm not happy that the only source for this story is the occupying military force in Iraq. They are perhaps not the most trustworthy source. For instance, they fail to mention that December 19th is the anniversary of the death of Saddam Hussein. Is the Muslim world so hell-bent on killing themselves and the rest of us that the only good news about them is utterly suspect? - Trevor Blake]
