Seriously, these MSM stories are very, very few and far between. On the other hand are the milblogs, some of which outdo the MSM, many of which post much more positive pov, including sunnis and shiahs agreeing that killing of civilians is wrong. That they need to come together, though the Sunnis do not trust the government in Iraq, they do acknowledge it. Only in America would any of this lead to an 'all is lost' scenario.
