Zeld,
I am not trying to fool myself in the least. I said it sounds fake. I base this on the use of slang, the western writing style, and the countless numbers of fake blogs on the web. I made comments as if it were real and those comments stand. If you don't think the author's perspective is important then we have nothing further to discuss. A Baathist's in good standing during Saddam's rule would certainly have a far different life than say a Kurd in the same city. But hey, if you choose to believe this is the real thing and not question the source, more power to you.
Nizzle,
I see no evidence that the blog is real either. I have no doubt that there are a substantial number of intelligent Iraqi women, your assumption on this matter is wrong.
As far as the disturbing implications of the thread, what? That there is a lack of security? That there are clerics seizing power? That people are unemployed and that lives are interrupted? Sorry but I got that even from the horrible slant of Fox news. It was a war. Anyone who thought there wouldn't be upheaval in the aftermath had seriously distorted ideas of how this would work.
In the end even if this is a real blog, this is ONE person's perspective.
