Good stuff coming out of Iraq. I wonder why there is nothing in the big media?
TIKRIT, Iraq, Aug. 3, 2007 — Eighteen paramount tribal leaders representing 14 of the major tribes in Diyala province, Iraq, swore on the Quran and signed a peace agreement unifying the tribes in the battle against terrorism during a meeting at the Baqubah Government Center Aug. 2.
The meeting, led by Ra’ad Hameed Al-Mula Jowad Al-Tamimi, governor of Diyala; Staff Maj. Gen. Abdul Kareem, commander of Iraqi security forces (ISF) in Diyala province; and Col. David W. Sutherland, commander of coalition forces in Diyala, was attended by sheiks representing three Shiite tribes, 11 Sunni tribes and 60 of Diyala’s 100 sub-tribes.
“Let’s build this tent and live under it like one family – all the tribes and all the people of Diyala. You have to be one family,†said Ra’ad Hameed Al-Mula Jowad Al-Tamimi, governor of Diyala, who stressed the importance of the sheiks in the country’s efforts towards stability and security.
This is a good, positive sign that things are finally coming together in Iraq, and, more importantly, that Muslims are starting to say "Enough!" to the extremist positions of certain other Muslims. If only the major media would broadcast this information to the American People.
We are giving them money to be our friends.
I don’t think that is a long term solution to the political reconciliation problem.
More bad news from the MSM !!
