Iraq by Iraqis

Want to REALLY know what is happening on the ground in Iraq? Then check out these blogs by Iraqis living there. Listen to what they say instead of relying on either our government or media -both of whom slant the news:

Post a comment if you want. Riverbend is a woman and very intelligent. Zeyad (Healing Iraq) has a different perspective -- but both are excellent. 

And don't criticize them if you disagree with something - if you were living there with your butt on the line every day you might have a different view than someone sitting safely 8,000 miles away in the U.S. 

I think we have a lot in common with ordinary Iraqis, if we take the time to listen to them.
