Bud McFarlane seeking peace in Iraq

It's true. Bud McFarlane, of Reagan administration and Iran-contra fame, was in Baghdad with an Anglican cleric, Canon Andrew White, for a meeting of Iraqi religious leaders. According to an op-ed by McFarlane in the Wall Street Journal, aides to Ayatollah Sistani and Muqtada Sadr were there, along with top Sunni clerics. And what makes it all the more interesting, says McFarlane, is that many of them strongly believed in holding Iraq together, in one piece. "They called it their 'nation,'" wrote McFarlane.
