Hi there! Thanks for stopping in. I'm Christopher Allbritton, former AP and
New York Daily News reporter. In 2002, I went stumbling around
Iraqi Kurdistan, the northern part of Iraq outside Saddam's direct control, looking for stories. (Some might call it "looking for trouble.") In March 2003, I made it back in time for the war, becoming the Web's first fully reader-funded journalist-blogger. With the support of thousands of readers, we raised almost $15,000. You can read my dispatches here. It was one of the moments in journalism when everything worked. It was a grand -- and successful -- experiment in independent journalism. In 2004, I moved to Iraq, where I would spend the next two years. It was a raucous, scary and exciting place with a lot of news going on. But I've since moved on to Beirut and the wider region. I now report for a variety of outlets.

Good question, indeed. Last time I checked, American neoconservatives are against targeting civilians. When countries such as UK or Australia join the US anti-terrorist efforts, is it because of the alliance? (if so, how come France didn’t give a damn about the alliance?) Or it is because we think that terrorism is an atrosity worse than war?
Also, a minor point: neither Bush, nor Cheney, nor Rumsfeld, nor Rice are neocons. So if you want to stay in touch with reality, it is a good idea to stay away from the whole neocon conspiracy paranoya.
Otherwise, this is an interesting site. I found it through Raed’s blog.

American people should know that one of Zapatero electoral promises was to withdraw troops from Irak. It is not an answer to the attaks, it is to fullfil the Spanish people desire of not intervene in Bush’s administration error of invading a country based in lies. Before the war everybody here knew that all that was being told was not true. We are not that manipulable. Please consider that the winner of this story should be peace. And that is what spanish people strongly wishes. The question goes beyond political analisis…
