\nThe unthinkable has happened. Shia’s and Sunnis’ in Iraq have put behind them decade old divisions and come together to fight for independence. I never thought that I would see a full blown struggle for independence in my life time.<\/p>\n

Me, my brother, my cousin, our tribe and its allies against the rest of the world.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
