Viva Salam Pax

In his latest post, Salam Pax defends himself from accusations that he might not have been anti-Saddam enough. And he does so quite eloquently, I might add.

Iraq slowly fades from the media radar. But he's been there from the beginning and had a clear grip on the situation. Sure, he opposed the war — as much as he opposed Saddam. I certainly didn't expect him to "go out and throw flowers at the incoming missiles."

I always thought Salam brave. Heck, publishing a critical blog from Baghdad was damn heroic! I'm glad to hear things are slowly getting better for him, his family, and the people of Iraq. And while many of us might've disagreed on the means, I hope we all agree on the desired outcome: democracy in Iraq.
