My goal for this blog is to chronicle the eight weeks I will spend in Baghdad, Iraq during July and August 2007. The content that appears here will not be about the war per se, but rather about my experience living and working in a war-torn country. I am neither a soldier nor a political operative, and for a variety of reasons I do not plan to discuss politics in this forum. Instead, I will write about people I meet, things I see and the impressions such experiences have made on me personally. I don't claim to represent anyone but myself, which is why I will write under an assumed name.
Essentially, this is the most effective way I can come up with of telling people who are interested about my life in Iraq. I will have regular internet access while I am abroad, so I expect to update regularly. I would love to hear from all of you through comments posted here or via e-mail.
p.s. This site cannot be found through a Google search, and I do not intend for it to reach anyone other than my own family and friends. If I have sent you the link, I ask that you be judicious in deciding who to forward it to. I don't expect to be revealing state secrets on this page, but I would prefer not to see my words quoted elsewhere. I don't think anything I will say here will be of any interest to people who don't know me, anyway.
