Sunni, Shia March Together in Baghdad for Peace

MNF-I reports that Shias and Sunnis marched together for peace in Baghdad.

Approximately 1,000 Iraqi citizens, of both Shia and Sunni religions, joined together on the sectarian fault line in Rawaniyah, the Karkh District of Baghdad, to march with one another in what they called a “Peace March”, Dec. 19.

It further details,

This area is relatively calm today, but in January of this year violence raged through the streets, especially on Haifa.

Haifa Street intrigued me since Haifa Street has long be called "Purple Heart Avenue" by American Soldiers as reported in the New York Times.

So, I visited the New York Times today to see if they reported about the Peace March.

Here is what I found:

Interestingly enough, nothing about

However, I did find this,

I just found this tidbit interesting.

Side note: Everytime I opened the NY Times pages, my CPU Usage would max out and stay at 100%, slowing my computer to a stand still. When I closed, CPU usage stayed at 8-12%. Again, I just found this phenomenon interesting.
