Great photos by G, a translator and ‘fixer’ from Baghdad, friend of Salam Pax and now blogger in his own right. As with both their blogs these photos show the bizareness of the situation along with a normality which shouldn’t be suprising but is.
I find I go to Salam’s blog ever time something mahor happens in Iraq. His furious comments on the UN HQ bombing are a must read:
there is a friggin’ Iraqi idiot now on Jazeera saying that the security responsibility should be given over to the Iraqi Governing Council. Fuck off, this is not about American presence in Iraq. these attacks have nothing to do with the so called resistance. These are fucking idiots who destroying all the efforts to help this country get back on it’s feet. the fucking Governing Council could not control this mess the moment the Coalition Forces move out we are plunged in chaos.

I am plunging into a fucking depression, do we have a future? is this country going to be hijacked by shit extremists who want to prove a point?
