Back in Iraq

11.29.2003

Now that I'm Bolivia, I haven't really been keeping up w/ the blogosphere like I used to. But I was pleased to notice that there are many more Iraqi bloggers (here's a short list) around now that the regime's extreme censorship (e.g. killing & torturing thousands) has ceased. One of them also reports on an anti-terrorism demonstration in Baghdad. And, no, it wasn't aimed at the US.

I still think blogs can change the world.

the Iraqi blogs are fascinating. I echo steph's comment. I also enjoy your blog as until I started to read it my knowledge of Bolivia was limited to "next to Peru - reed boats on Lake Titicaca".

LOL. Yeah, few people know much about Bolivia. And if they do, it's mostly about the Andean parts (llamas, alpaca sweaters, reed boats on Titicaca). Those of us who come from Santa Cruz (population 1.2 million thankyouverymuch) and other eastern regions often feel rather, um, slighted.
