I don’t care what your doing, you need to stop it right now and go read this woman’s blog.  Yes, I’m serious.

It’s an anonymous blog from a young Iraqi woman talking about her life, her hopes, her fears, and the sheer brutality and anti-human horror of life in occupied Bahdad.  I know all the conservative assholes who keep goign on about how “we” are “winning” in Iraq will never take the time to read it - or any of the other accounts from people who’ve lived through the hell our Fuher has engineered - but for the rest of us who continue to go on with our daily lives doing the best we can to get by even though we know there is a horrible crime being committed in our name, for the rest of us it’s incredibly important to stop, shut the fuck up about everything we THINK we know, and just listen.

Baghdad Burning.

Go. There. Now.
