Oh, And Iraq, Too

I haven't ranted about Iraq and the media's police blotter approach to reporting on the events in that country because, well, far more important and far smarter bloggers have commented quite eloquently on the matter. That being said, I'll just direct you to some Iraqi blogs you may find interesting. Two of them are old news, but there's a new blogger in their ranks, and he's quite good.

Salam Pax: About the most famous Iraqi in the world, with the exception of Saddam Hussein. A compelling read, with insights you don't always expect.

Riverbend: A perpetual whiner but, given the fact that a war was recently visited upon her country, I guess that's understandable. Still, she whines about everything.

Healing Iraq: This guy is new to the blogging scene, but from the sounds of it, he has beginner's luck (well, that, and it helps to have Instapundit link you a couple of times). He's a great read, and he offers up a lot of content and *gasp* good news the mainstream media wouldn't be caught dead reporting.
