This is Real

Hope you're keeping an eye on: http://riverbendblog.blogspot.com/

The girl who writes Baghdad Burning says that so many people have left Iraq this summer she wonders if it’s hundreds of thousands. Of course there are no official figures for something like that…

She says that residents of Baghdad are “systematically being pushed out of the city.” No one trusts the government, the Americans, the military, or anyone but friends & relatives. The only hope is to say alive – “not safe, not secure - just alive.” We can’t even IMAGINE what that feels like.

Not that I read all the news on this subject – how can anyone without being permanently depressed? – but I have yet to see this info in the news…
