IRAQ UPDATE: Baghdad Bridge of Death Becomes Bridge of Hope: “Sunnis and Shi’ites made an emotional reach across the sectarian divide on Tuesday, reopening a Baghdad bridge between the two communities closed since a 2005 stampede, the deadliest incident of the war. . . Sunni children from Adhamiya raced to see their Shi’ite friends in Kadhimiya. Women from the two communities met up on the bridge, kissing and hugging each other with joy.” And this positive story is from Reuters. Now that the election’s over, we may get more of those!
