1) People will take you more seriously if you avoid using sophomoric nicknames for people.

2) I would appreciate it if you would bother to read my blog more thoroughly. See especially Oppose war, indict Saddam including its links, and also the comments on it.

3) No one, least of all me, is denying that Saddam Hussein is a brutal murdering tyrant. However, the estimate I have seen for his death count is 200,000 which would have taken only four years if the figure you quote is accurate. You also have a tendency to throw around large numbers without having a source for them. Let's keep to the facts, please.

I need to hear the other side of the story. Censorship is everywhere and this is revolting. I live in Brazil and would like to know if you have some blog addresses that blog from inside bagdad.

Thks.

Chris - I'm not sure what you're asking for. The best links that I know of in regard to Iraq are listed in the right sidebar on the veiled4allah page. If you're looking specifically for information from inside of Iraq try Back to Iraq or Where Is Raed. Back to Iraq is the blog of an independent journalist who has just arrived in Iraq. It's your best bet. Where Is Raed is by an Iraqi blogger, but he hasn't been able to post much since the war started; probably he lost internet access.
