Sunnis and Shi'ites made an emotional reach across the sectarian divide
on Tuesday, reopening a Baghdad bridge between the two communities
closed since a 2005 stampede, the deadliest incident of the war. Sunni children from one side raced to see their Shi'ite
friends on the other. Women from the two communities met up on the
bridge, hugging each other with joy. A banner across the bridge read:
'The bridge of love and reconciliation between the people of Adhamiya
and Kadhimiya.' (Reuters News has the full report )

Israeli President Shimon Peres seized the rare opportunity of being
in the same hall as Saudi King Abdullah on Wednesday to praise a Saudi
peace initiative that he said had brought hope to the Middle East.
Addressing a special high-level U.N. General Assembly meeting on
dialogue between different religions, Peres termed some of the language
in an Arab peace proposal based on the Saudi initiative "inspirational
and promising -- a serious opening for real progress."
It was a rare moment -- an Israeli head of state speaking directly
to the Saudi Arabian leader, whose country does not recognize Israel. (Reuters News report)
