The Washington Post reports on Sunnis defending their Shiite neighbors from attacks by followers of Abu Musab Zarqawi.
Along with threatening Shites, Zarqawi had issued threats to clerics who were urging Sunnis to participate in the next elections. Considering the concern the Sunnis have over the new constitution and the possibility of a separate Shite state, the Sunnis must be regretting not participating more in the past election.
