Have you checked out any of the Iraqi blogs?

The reason why we weren’t posting regularly in the last week or so is
because we were outside Iraq, having meetings with our friends who are
running “Spirit of America”.
In the last meeting we put the final touches for the “friends of democracy”
project; a project that is dedicated to spread the concepts of democracy
among Iraqis through the internet by helping students’ groups and NGOs
create their own blogs (in Arabic) and introduce these groups to each other
in a way that enables them to exchange their thoughts and spread the news
about their activities as well as by arranging for lectures and discussions
to inform the Iraqi voters (through interactive discussions) about the
nature and importance of the coming elections. This will be done without
any interference with the choices they will make because our ultimate goal
is to help our people choose what they believe is good for them. The
project will not be limited to the coming elections only; we’re looking
forward to extend this project for the time following the elections.

Trip to Basra
Few days passed after the results of the American elections. Many
conclusions can be put now; the most important one is “the empty barrel
gives higher sounds than a filled one”, its clear to say that when
president Bush wins public votes more than any other president in American
history, that’s an important fact no one can ignore, and it tells all
Americans that it was the right thing to do and accept. For me as an Iraqi
I am happy and thankful for the results because I couldn’t afford to face
new policy from another party who think that things in Iraq should be
turned to UN, which we know very well in Iraq, how corrupt it is. What
proves my wards the letter of UN secretary general to Prime Minister Alawy
on the 6th of Nov 2004 about warning the Iraqi government not to attack
Faluja…..OK, not to attack; what’s the plan then?. Answer…none in the
letter.
