The Sunni-Shiite conflict exploded Thursday in Madain, 15 miles southeast of Baghdad, when Sunni militants attacked the town mosque with explosives.

Haitham Husseini, a spokesman for the Supreme Council for Islamic Revolution in Iraq, the country's largest Shiite group, said the Madain mosque had been badly damaged in the Thursday attack.

5. Well, that's true this week.

But next week there may be an urgent need to love Sunnis and hate Shiites in both Iran and Iraq. It can change so fast.
