life during wartime
Here Magazine, which I praised last month, is currently collecting stories on the topic of "What does the war look like from where you are?" E-mail them to war@heremagazine.com, and read the collected responses here.
Also: D. Bauler writes in to point out http://dear_raed.blogspot.com, another weblog from the front lines, this one maintained by a Baghdad civilian.
"Wherever you go you see closed shops and it is not just doors-locked closed but sheet-metal-welded-on-the-front closed, windows-removed-and-built-with-bricks closed, doors were being welded shut. There were trucks loaded with all sort of stuff being taken from the shops to wherever their owner had a secure place. Houses which are still being built are having huge walls erected in front of them with no doors, to make sure they don’t get used as barracks I guess."
I'll be reading this one until the electricity goes out, or until the state suspends Internet service.
