Baghdad Girl

[Stormlight]

This is the blog of 14 year old girl in Baghdad. The mix of cute cat-pictures and messages about car-bombs is sad and fascinating:

Hello,
It has been along time since I posted my last subject, the situation here do not help to write at all, the temperature is very high, no electricity, we have only 4 hours of electrical power in the 24 hours of the day, no security, no water, no peace and there are always explosions and bombcars, as an example, four days ago a big explosion happened near my house, it was done by abombcar, this bombcar cost people life's, broke windows, and brought fear.

Is it overly cynical of me that one of my first thoughts is that the blogger might not be from Iraq at all?

That was my impression as well. Then again, I am a self-acknowledged cynical skeptic.
