Review of Taking Stock of the War


Interesting collection of war related stories. They're a refreshing alternative to the mainstream media?s handling of Iraq stories which mainly concentrate on the policies of the guys in suits and US casualties.
We can?t be reminded too much that the ones bearing the largest share of the sufferings of the war in Iraq are the Iraqis themselves.
The mother of a wounded soldier in Iraq even talks of how she reads the blogs of Iraqi students, recognizing that they?re like students anywhere.
