This week's Carnival of the Liberated is up, featuring a collection of posts from Iraqi bloggers over the past week. The electricity situation gets some complaints, but this post by A Star from Mosul (hat tip: Praktike) is sharper than any of 'em. Praktike also recommends Kurdish blogger Kardox's post, which ends with "have you ever wept for hope?" Good choice - read Kardox's other posts, too.
Articles like this one by embedded journalist Karl Zinsmeister make me very glad that we have an Iraqi blogosphere to discuss the good, the bad, and the ugly.








He missed a nice one from Kardox, here.
Short version: "Have you ever wept for hope?"
