"The Myth: Iraqis, prior to occupation, lived in little beige tents set up on the sides of little dirt roads all over Baghdad. The men and boys would ride to school on their camels, donkeys and goats. These schools were larger versions of the home units and for every 100 students, there was one turban-wearing teacher who taught the boys rudimentary math (to count the flock) and reading. Girls and women sat at home, in black burkas, making bread and taking care of 10-12 children." Cory Doctorow at boingboing.net

This blog by a woman from Baghdad is already getting a lot of traffic, but it's well worth waiting to get a better perspective of the ongoing war Found while hanging out at William Gibson's.
