Check out this directory of blogs about the war -- it's the most comprehensive I've found yet.

My recent trip to Louisville was not totally sad -- I got to see a lot of family members that I haven't seen in awhile. Mainly, my uncle Steve who just returned from Iraq. I wanted to post all of his emails, but I don't think I'll have time.

Here is an excerpt that I found very insightful:

"There are a lot of Iraqis who want to get on with their lives, and a small number who are unhappy, and determined to make everyone else unhappy with them. Truthfully, the violence that you hear about is brought about by a small number of people who have competing agendas, but who all don't have what they want, so they're resorting to violence. If you want to hear more on the subject, buy me a beer when I get home, and I will wax eloquent on the subject."

(I did get to buy him a beer over the weekend, and I wish I had been tape-recording the conversation. Getting a firsthand account of the war is so harrowing and interesting...)
