39. Editorial: Iraq Must Deliver Oil to Sunnis in the Constitution (Christian Science Monitor)
    "Rather, the key to Iraq's near-term stability is quite simply the rights and prerogatives of the 20 percent of Iraqis who are Sunni Arabs."
    
    "It is this group that provides perhaps 90 percent of the insurgency's active fighters and most of its new recruits. It is this group amid which the insurgency lives, hides its arms, plots its attacks, finds its safe houses. And it is this group that is on the verge of being fundamentally marginalized, in political power as well as economics, by what is happening in the constitution-writing right now."
    
    "The Kurds want not only the land back for the Kurdish families who once owned it - a reasonable enough proposition - but virtually all the rights and revenue to the oil produced in its vicinity." 8-05

40. 08-22-05 Kurds and Shia Agree, Not Sunnis (Bloomberg.com)

    "Sunnis oppose the idea of federalism, which they say will deprive them of access to Iraq's oil, the world's third-largest reserve of crude. Production and reserves are split between the predominately Shiite south of the country and the north." 8-05

41. -08-28-05 Sunni's Reject Draft Constitution (BBC News)

    "For its ratification, the constitution needs the approval of a majority of voters across the country and not to be rejected by two-thirds of the voters in three or more governorates." 8-05

42. Sunyata - Recognizing True Nature of Mind (Kargyu.org)
    "Realized beings, when they see anything, understand it as a reflection of the mind, and they get neither bored with it nor excited about it.

One of the highest experiences is to understand that reality is not fixed." 11-05

43. -12-16-05 Sunnis Came to the Polls (Fox News)
    "Turnout in what was a mostly peaceful election was overwhelming. Election officials estimated up to 11 million of the nation's 15 million registered voters took part in Thursday's vote, which would put overall turnout at more than 70 percent."
    
    "So many Sunni Arabs voted Thursday that ballots ran out in some places. The strong participation by Sunnis, the backbone of the insurgency, bolstered U.S. hopes that the election could produce a broad-based government capable of ending the daily suicide attacks and other violence that have ravaged the country since the fall of Saddam Hussein."
    
    "Sunni Arabs make up about 20 percent of Iraq's 27 million people, compared to about 60 percent for Shiites." 12-05
