Iraqi expatriot Shada Hassoon is so hot, she may single-handedly end Iraq's bloody civil war. Shia and Sunni alike bask in her hotness. The finalist on the Lebanese equivalent of "American Idol" is said to be unifying Iraqis like nothing before.

Okay, maybe a bit of hyperbole, but just read this CNN story below. That's the language that's being used by her fans. For my money she's attractive, but fellow contestant Lebanese Tina Yamout is so hot that her mere presence on TV sends Hizbullah goons into hiding.

Bonus Shada Hasoon and Tina Yamout videos and picss below.

CNN:

Shada Hassoon, a charismatic and talented 26-year-old singer, is doing for Iraq what weary politicians in that strife-torn country have so far failed to do: unite the fractious nation.

Hassoon is a contestant representing Iraq on LBC's "Star Academy," a televised entertainment competition from Lebanon similar to "American Idol."....

[One commenter at the al Arabiya website said] "I wish upon all Iraqis abroad and inside Iraq to vote for Shada, and I wish that all of them unite, and I would like to say one word to the Arabs and the entire world that Iraqis are brethren no matter what sect or confession they belong to"....

"We voted for Shada without asking if she were a Shiite or a Sunni," Hicham Mahmoud Alaazami said on the Al-Arabiya Web site. "We voted for her just because she is an Iraqi."...

Salma thinks the singer will bring more happiness to the Iraqis than the Arab summit this week, "because the Arab summit is nothing but a show and a photo opportunity, nothing else."...

...one Iraqi TV channel is urging Iraqis to "vote for the daughter of the Euphrates."

...."despite the sad circumstances in Iraq, please vote for our daughter Shada, the daughter of the two rivers."
