I always like to check in with this writer.
Living in Baghdad must be incredibly frightening.
She reports gunfire all over Baghdad.
And more...

I hope she can stay safe.

2. I'm so afraid for her and her family

I can barely stand to read her blogs these days as her country spirals into the sectarian war we all predicted 3 years ago when Stupid was just massaging his hardon for war. (sorry about that visual, guys)

As much as I want to swoop in and pluck her family out of that mess and keep them safe, I know that is their home and they would probably refuse to leave it for the same reason I'm refusing to leave my home as it lurches toward fascism.

4. Me too! Me too!

I am in awe of her resiliency when all around her is crumbling.
She really puts it all out in front.
I worry about the day when her blog is either no longer available, or stops completely. She is my link to the truth, instead of all thie "truthiness" that we have here with MSM.
I enjoy reading LBN here, because it gives me global perspective.
Oops, gotta go; there a couple guys in sunglasses and trenchcoats at my door.....
