Foreign Policy:  Sadr — feared by some, reviled by others and revered by a broad swath of Iraq’s urban poor — is now a kingmaker in Iraqi politics. It’s a role that Sadr, the scion of a prominent clerical family, has been building toward since 2003. Immediately after the U.S. invasion, thousands of his supporters [...]

Just another reason why al-Jazeera is awesome.

Wow. I can’t believe Bush had shoes thrown at him. Wow. See the video here. Bush was in Iraq for a farewell visit and the shoe-throwing journalist yelled: “This is a farewell … you dog!” It’s so embarrassing that I’m almost embarrassed for him. Wow. But I got to give it to him, he’s got [...]

this type of American liberation for Iran. No but really, a picture does speak a thousand words and here we have some American liberation in Iraq.

Memritv is a complete tool, but sometimes you can make good use of it. Here is a thorough explanation as to why the level of violence in Iraq dropped from horrible to very bad, which really doesn’t say much if you ask me. On a side note, I’m just finished up a course with Professor [...]

BBC: Tens of thousands of people have died in Iraq since the US-led invasion of March 2003. But it is unclear how many Iraqi lives have been lost. More than 4,300 coalition soldiers have died – 4,000 of them Americans [this figure does not include the deaths of "security contractors" which some estimates put at [...]

Two nights ago I watched “No End in Sight,” a documentary film on the Iraq War in which I had posted its trailer here long ago. It was an outstanding film and a burning critique of the war in Iraq. It was nominated for an Oscar for Best Documentary film in 2007. Here’s the wikipedia [...]

The 4,000 milestone has been reached in Iraq, meaning, that 4,000 US servicemen have died in this unjust war. The hundred thousand milestone, however, was reached long ago for Iraqis killed in this war. Today, some estimates put the Iraqi death toll at anywhere between 150,000 to one million.  Do you remember when Bush had [...]

One protester held a sign that I thought was very telling of this war. It read: “147 soldiers committed suicide in Iraq and Afghanistan.” See pictures and read statements from protesters across the country here. And here you can read about the cost of the wars to the US Treasury. Excerpt: According to the non-partisan [...]

I feel as though the war in Iraq has become an accepted fact, that it is no longer an anomaly to be opposed, but the norm. It’s a news headline, if even that, no longer worth clicking on to read. The war is a scant dinner topic, if even that. Or it’s a bumper sticker, [...]

looks very intriguing and comprehensive and can be seen here. I haven’t seen the whole thing yet but I will as soon as I have a chance.

It’s one of the best (and saddest) videos I’ve seen on the war. Here it is in Persian.
