The Iraq War seems so far away at times. The mainstream media [MSM] doesn't always cover it but rather appropriating time for the biggest story of the week: Britney, Obama's pastor, Hillary's tears, etc. Remember the Vietnam War? I can't because I wasn't born yet but it seems that the coverage of that war [from what I've read / history classes] that the MSM played a major role in helping end that war by keeping the American public aware.
The American public are no longer aware and the MSM is helping to keep it that way. So the war will continue as long as there are other news to distract the masses. What about a different kind of source for the war in Iraq? One that doesn't have an agenda but to make it through the day?
Last-Of-Iraqis is a blog created by an Iraqi dentist living in Baghdad. His posts give a glimpse into the real conflict happening over there. He posts about the fighting by militias, the US military, the political corruptions, agendas, and the struggle of civilians caught in the crossfire.
