Other items of interest about Iraq:

Iraqis hold ceremony to bury victims of Saddam's Anfal genocide. World is silent.
"Saddam Hussein murdered 182,000 Iraqis during the Anfal campaign in the early 80's. This was more than Al-Qaeda and insurgents managed to kill over the past 6 years of war."
New Alliances Emerge in Advance of Iraq Elections
Negotiations Raise Possibility That Politicians Could Bridge Ethnic, Sectarian Divides
"...the jockeying after the Jan. 31 elections indicates that politicians are assembling coalitions that cross the sectarian divide ahead of parliamentary elections later this year, a vote that will shape the country as the U.S. military withdraws.
[---]
"The negotiations and deal-making mark a departure from politics that have hewed almost exclusively to ethnic and sectarian lines, fomenting the discord that brought Iraq to the precipice of civil war in 2006 and 2007."
Keep going, Iraq.
