Iraq the Model 1 year old

The writers of the Iraq the Model blog have posted their thoughts on the one year aniversary of thier blog. They, and many other Iraqi bloggers, have given me a lot of hope about the eventual success of our project in Iraq. Perhaps more importantly, they have reiterated to me the fact that we all, whatever our nationality, religion, or political affiliation, have much more in common than we have differences. Reading the Iraqi blogs helps remind me that all people have the same dreams and fears.
