Team Up Against Evil

The New York Times > Clerics Urge Sunni Arabs to Join Iraq's Police and Army
Well this is good news and I am pleasantly surprised to see it in the New York Times... Teaming up against evil is always a good thing.

BAGHDAD, Iraq, April 1 - A group of Sunni clerics, including some hard-line figures who fiercely oppose the American presence here, issued a statement today urging Iraq's Sunni Arabs to join the Iraqi army and the police.
The edict, signed by 64 imams and religious scholars, was a striking turnaround for the clerics, who have often lashed out in their sermons at the fledgling army and police, branding them collaborators.
