Good news from the Arab world!
Two quick notes.
First, a leading Iraqi Sunni cleric, heretofore thought to have ties to the insurgency, is calling for an end to the bloodshed. It may be dawning on him that al Zarqawi's sectarian war on the Shia and the Kurds will end very badly for the Sunnis.
Second, the Saudis seem to have a growing problem with boot-legging!
This would be unadulturated good news but for the fact that it's, er, adulturated:

Recent reports in the local media giving details of raids on illegal wine factories across the kingdom have caused controversy and shocked conservative Saudi society were alcohol is banned.
