Baghdad Burning

I first heard about this Blog when it was short listed for a book prize - and the Blog received much publicity at the time. I do call by and read it occasionally. I suspect the woman who writes the Blog was a supporter of Saddam Hussein - she's certainly no fan of the United States and is often recording the abuses that many Iraqis are suffering.

There is no indication of her name - and it is not possible to put comments on her site, but you can send an e-mail. The last entry she made was on February 20th, and the previous one on December 31st.

The last one details the story of an Iraqi woman who was raped by police in Iraq. Unusually she came out with the story. It is quite horrific.

Certainly there is much criticism of the US - the atrocities that have occurred including the brutality by the Americans in the prison there.

The Blogger believes that more terrorists have been created by the actions of the US invaders than Osama Bin Laden could have done.

Life for this Blogger and her people must be horrific. I cannot imagine living in such conditions. I wish that some peace and tranquility settle on Iraq.

Baghdad Burning.
