When one tunes in the news, and that news turns its attention to the Iraq War, the lion's share of space and time seems to go to the more extreme elements on either side of the issue ... if it's not the swaggering bluster by the war's proponents, it's the shrill denunciations by it's detractors ...
In the midst of all that sound and fury, is there a place for a 14-year-old girl, a weblog, and lots and LOTS of cats? ...
Maybe there is ... just ask Raghda Zaid, the Baghdad Girl ...
It's not an in-depth analysis of the problems in Iraq ... nor does it offer solutions ... it is, when all is said and done, a 14-year-old girl, a weblog, and lots and LOTS of cats ...
But maybe ... just maybe ... it's also a hint of the sense of normalcy that we all - proponents and detractors alike - must certainly hope and pray will someday return to that country ...
