"I think the Sunnis are starting to come together as the Shiites and the Kurds did," said Sharif Ali bin Hussein, a former financier and a cousin of Iraq's last king. "We who have more experience in the political arena are trying to educate those who have a more militant point of view. What we are saying is that they cannot continue to boycott the political process; there needs to be participation."

This is the guy who intrigues me.. Sharif Ali Bin Hussein.. He is the one, IMO, who can play a decisive roll in moderating the Sunni stance.

And it's certainly evident that Jordan and the current govt in Iraq are having a "falling out" with one another as Sunni militants continue to target Shiites in hope of igniting a religious civil war, Sunni vs Shi'a.

But yes.. the Sunnis are lowing thier swords slowly, but surely and hopefully getting ready to beat them into plowshares.
