Iraqi voices

The situation in Iraq is worsening by the day as more evidence emerges of death squads roaming the country. US influence is thankfully waning and average Iraqis are suffering. Blogger Truth About Iraq explains:

Iraq Pundit blames the Western media for misunderstanding the situation:

Iraqis have been working hard to avoid a real civil war in the midst of suicide bombings, killings and kidnappings. But the media prefer to ignore these efforts and instead choose to focus on the aggressive acts of Moktada Al Sadr’s gang.
