WHY CAN'T WE BE FRIENDS?

Mortal enemies working together to do good! The Strange News section of I Won Today at iwon.com reports that “Rats and Cats Work to Sniff Out Mines

According to the article, “for the past year, a special Colombian police unit has been locking rats in cages with cats as part of a project to train the rodents to sniff out the more than 100,000 landmines planted mostly by leftist rebels across this conflict-wracked Andean country. ‘Here the cats play with the rats instead of attacking them," Mendez said. "The cats wear shields on their nails so they can't cause any injuries and as a result the rats feel comfortable playing around them.’”

If cats and mice can work together for the greater good – why can’t Democrats and Republicans?
