Bush, via E&P:

And you talk about Sunnis rising up. I mean, the Sunnis have got to make a choice — do they want to live in a society that’s free, or do they want to live in violence. And I suspect most mothers, no matter what their religion may be, will choose a free society, so that their children can grow up in a peaceful world.

Anyway, I’m optimistic about what’s taking place.

Dynamite and a match, via Slate:

Here is the Sunni nightmare in plain black and white: The Kurds are allowed to form a single supra-region in the oil-rich north, the Shiites to form theirs in the oil-rich south, while the Sunnis are left in the oil-dry center.
