Here’s the scoop. What’s interesting to me about the Iraqi bloggers is not their actions, but their audience — judging from the comments at the blogs I’ve seen, the readers are mostly Americans desperate to be told what they want to hear; a smaller but perhaps noisier group consists of people angry that the bloggers dare to have opinions they disagree with.
It’s remarkable that the Iraqis put up with these competing pressures from their readers. My strongest urge would be to tell ’em all to mind their own business, but I suppose that’d defeat the purpose of having a blog.
