Are the Sunnis ready to talk in Iraq?

This report from within Iraq raises an intriguing question: has the sectarian violence within the war-torn nation actually convinced the Sunni population that it is time to negotiate with American troops? The essential point of the article is that after years of allying with Al-Qaeda, the Sunnis have finally realized that foreign fighters are there with a foreign agenda, and have no interest in making for a better Iraq. Instead, Al-Qaeda is eafer to see an Iraq in civil war where Shia fight Sunni, because a civil war will hurt the Americans. But the Sunnis realize in a real civil war, they are bound for a massacre and ultimate defeat.

If true, this may mean we are moving toward a great opportunity in Iraq, even as many want to simply declare defeat and get out.
