If you have not already done so, dear reader(s?) [can there be more than one of you?], check out Baghdad Burning, a "girl blog from Iraq". The author writes about events in her country with a sharp personal focus and a bone-weariness that does not soften her sense of outrage.
If you find yourself starting to think of "the Iraqi people" as a semantic construct, or if you think that the meaning of this war is all about us--read Baghdad Burning.
Also, not exactly new but never out of date: Juan Cole's "If America were Iraq, What would it be Like?"
Pure hell, I imagine.
