The Baghdad Bulletin is putting up their fifth issue. It's worth a read to see how Iraqis are thinking. Salam Pax has also updated with news from his correspondent in Mosul. And, just to make it a hat trick, G in Baghdad has also updated his blog with some thoughts on how things have changed yet remained the same. As usual, though his English is far from perfect, G has the money quotes:
"Again provide jobs, electricity, security and Iraqis will vote to elect you president for life
That’s not true you know
Now there is something else. Of coarse not as important as electricity but as good as most of the Iraqis will tell you, It’s the 'mukhabarat free society', no more security thugs with ugly faces demanding to see your ID, your history and your mothers love letters"
And lastly:
"Unlike what al-Jazeera says I think Iraqis gained something form the Americans. We got some amebic concept, some call it freedom others call it chaos, I call it a fuzzy dream of democracy."
