Marking this anniversary
One of the best ways to mark the third anniversary of this war: go read this, by Riverbend.
Another good way to do so, given the many organic links between the Iraq war and the Palestinian-Israeli situation: go read Laila's description of the noose of Israel's punitive economic siege tightening around Gaza.
Thank G-d for the blogosphere, which brings us these fresh, un-mediated voices of people-- including talented observers and writers who are women-- who are living in zones of conflict and stress.
The other thing I'm going to do today to mark the war anniversary, is take part in our local pro-peace march here in C'ville.
aaach riverbend. I don't think many americans will ever really be liberal enough to appreciate that thing. Europe goes in for that stuff "we're such horrible white people". thanks but no thanks.
