THE POINT OF THE TALKS BEING TO DEFEAT THE SUNNI:

Iraqi Sunnis do not welcome Iranian help (UPI, Mar. 17, 2006)

Sunni leaders in Iraq denounced talks Friday between Iran and the United States over the Iraq's political future.

The Tawafuq Front, a Sunni coalition, called the talks "an obvious unjustified interference in Iraq's affairs," The New York Times reported. Leaders said in a statement that the front "is not committed, under any circumstances, to any results."
