In my newspaper I found an article about a young woman keeping a weblog about her daily life in Bagdad. Very, very courageous indeed because if over there (forgive me the expression) you fart the wrong direction, you are not sure of your life anymore, and on top of that, what the heck if an innocent passer-by also falls victim to the "heroic" battle of anonymous fighters for Allah?
Anyway, her weblog didn't remain unnoticed by Dutch journalists and a great deal of it is translated in Dutch and published.: "Bagdad onder vuur, dagboek van een jonge vrouw in Irak" (vertaling Thijs Bartels, ISBN 9029078332).
You can find her weblog here, I also put it in my template under "links".

Thanks for the link.
The anti-war sentiment is growing stronger and more vocal in the USA. Now more politicians are getting into the act and following the lead of the people. Suddenly, senators are revealing that they "knew" or "suspected" things about the legitimacy of the war several years ago. Yeah, right! Too bad they didn't act earlier when it could have made a real difference. Those idiots just follow whichever way the wind blows. I hope our new Congress develops some backbone and forces the Bush administration to make some hard decisions soon.
