Seems to me that the articles here and here sort of contradict each other. Either the Saudis and the Iranians are cooperating to reduce sectarian violence, or they are each egging on their separate partisans to encourage sectarian violence.

It may get up to 60 degrees today, but I won't be seeing much of it. Today is the day that the Purim holiday play we've been working on since January is performed. Two rehearsals a week all this time, leading to today's 10:15 final walk-thru and performances at 1 and 7 pm. Should be fun.
Where is that darn dog? Will Haman succeed in killing the Jews? Will the Sunni's and Shiites agree to disagree? Is the Media obsession about daily Presidential polling a sign that everyone considers the Bush presidency to be OVER, or are they simply continuing their unrelenting campaign to replace news that matters with news that diverts.
