Living with the Violence of Iraq

Discussions about Iraq -- and what it's like to live as a citizen in that war-torn country -- are almost always tied up in political posturing and esoteric strategic and tactical discussions. Clear and honest descriptions of what Operation Iraqi Freedom has meant to people who actually live there are much harder to come by. In this regard we found a blog, the Last of Iraqis, to be especially thought-provoking. And, this particular entry from the blog (which was featured in the Washington Post) is especially good.
