Dean's World

Welcome to the Carnival of the Liberated, a sampler of some of the best posts of the week from Iraqi and Afghan bloggers. This week we've got new Afghan bloggers, oil workers, al-Qaeda's victory, and, of all things, breast-feeding.

I'm pleased to report that I've discovered two more Afghan blogs: Coming Back to Kabul and Sanjar.

Afghan Lord posts on war crimes by Afghan warlords and the execution of Saddam Hussein.

Al-Ghad considers the influence of the Iraqi oil workers union on the ongoing crisis there.

Omar Iraq the Model isn't happy about the Iranians in the recent meeting between Iranian and U. S. diplomats.

Marshmallow26 posts on woman power.

neurotic iraqi wife re-surfaces.

The Shaqawa says that al-Qaeda has already won in Iraq. He has a point.

Since two of my favorite Iraqi blogs posted on this subject I guess I'll link to Anarki-13's take on breast-feeding as the solution to the problems of the modern workplace in Iraq. You read right. The other blog's post was just too scatological to link.

Dave Schuler posts regularly to his own weblog, The Glittering Eye. The Carnival was originally conceived by Ryan Boots.

Commenting on Dean's World is a privilege, not a right. Dean is your host, you are his guest, and you should behave in that fashion. Dean is not your babysitter, nor is he your punching bag. Please remember this. In general, you are free to disagree with anyone on any subject you wish, but abusive behavior will not be tolerated.

Of course we all lose our tempers now and then. Dean freely admits to being imperfect in this regard, which is why regulars to this establishment will generally be cut more slack than people who we don't know very well.

Still: behave like an adult, or go find somewhere else to play. Thanks.
