« Update: Video of Democratic debate is online at msnbc.com | Main | Candid images from last night's Dem debate; Bill would roll back Net radio royalty rates; Street art » April 27, 2007Iraqi blogger Riverbend leaving Iraq; MTV drops FlashIn a post titled The Great Wall of Segregation, Riverbend of Baghdad Burning ("Girl Blog from Iraq") wrote today that her family is leaving Iraq: I remember Baghdad before the war- one could live anywhere. We didn't know what our neighbors were- we didn't care. No one asked about religion or sect. No one bothered with what was considered a trivial topic: are you Sunni or Shia? You only asked something like that if you were uncouth and backward. Our lives revolve around it now. Our existence depends on hiding it or highlighting it- depending on the group of masked men who stop you or raid your home in the middle of the night.
