You Are There

Read Where is Raed?, the online diary of a man who lives in a Baghdad suburb.

Sample quote:

"The images we saw on TV last night (not Iraqi, jazeera-BBC-Arabiya) were terrible. The whole city looked as if it were on fire. The only thing I could think of was 'why does this have to happen to Baghdad'. As one of the buildings I really love went up in a huge explosion I was close to tears."
