Maybe peace with Israel...

Just isn't their most pressing issue... like, you know... if they could only stop slaughtering each other...
The head of Saddam Hussein's tribe has been blown up in a car bomb in the town of Awja, near Tikrit, Iraqi police say.

Members of the al-Bu Nasir, a 20,000-strong Sunni Arab tribe, held some of the most important security and political positions in Iraq under Saddam Hussein.

Mahmoud al-Nida, the sheikh's brother, was killed by unknown gunmen in 2006.
Baby steps, huh guys?

"Salam Aleikum."
