If you want to see a real four-star serious weblog, check out Kottke.org. He says very sensible things about the war, and also found that the blog from Raed in Baghdad, Iraq is back up!

Here are some highlights from Raed:

I think that the coming war is not justified ...

how could "support democracy in Iraq" become to mean "bomb the hell out of Iraq"? why did it end up that democracy won't happen unless we go thru war? Nobody minded an un-democratic Iraq for a very long time, now people have decided to bomb us to democracy? Well, thank you! how thoughtful.

A whole nation, a proud and learned nation, was devastated not by the war but by sanctions. Our brightest and most creative minds fled the country not because of oppression alone but because no one inside Iraq could make a living, survive.
