Yet another milestone

Every time a seemingly positive even takes place in Iraq, why do the press continue to ask the same question?

It was unclear whether the trial and verdict ultimately would act as a catharsis that can help bring reconciliation and peace to this embattled country, or would be a catalyst for further violence and sectarian clashes between Shiite Muslims, who make up about 60 percent of Iraq's population, and Sunni Arabs, who account for about 20 percent.

I'm no expert or a fortune teller, but I think I can answer that one.

And such timing!
