The Carnival of the Liberated

   Welcome to the Carnival of the Liberated, a sampler of some of the
   best posts of the week from Iraqi and Afghani bloggers. This week
   we've got Zarqawi's death, remembering Ba'ath rule, a bleg from
   Miriam, and much, much more.

   Of course, the big story in the Iraqi blogosphere last week was the
   death of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the foremost terrorist operating in
   Iraq, in an airstrike. The post of the week is from [1]Treasure of
   Baghdad: "The Thousand-Miles Road Starts With One Step".

  We posted a complete round-up of reactions to Zarqawi's death from Iraqi
  bloggers [2]in the immediate aftermath here.

   More bloggers have weighed in or have added to their observations
   since then. [3]Riverbend pens her reactions: Zarqawi was an American
   creation, he wasn't needed anymore, it won't make any difference
   anyway. That's the tack taken by [4]Roads to Iraq, too. [5]Children's
   Voice from Iraq sees things a little differently:

     Zarqawi is one of Iraqi kids killer is dead now but still his group
     and people who support him behind killing our innocent kids, but
     one by one people like Zarqawi will be hunted soon or later and
     people who support Zarqawi will be graced in their life for
     carrying this bloody ideas which always kill our kids.

   Read the rest. [6]Truth About Iraqis posts on Hamas's support for
   Zarqawi. [7]Iraqi Screen observes that little has changed with the
   death of Zarqawi. [8]Imad Khadduri weighs in and includes
   disinformation on the events from Islam Memo which you probably should
   take a look at. [9]Hammorabi has a few details about the strike and
   notes the importance of infiltrating terrorist groups. [10]Iraqi
   Roulette re-surfaces to comment. Did Zarqawi exist or didn't he?
   [11]The Mesopotamian rouses himself from self-confessed apathy long
   enough to congratulate those who took part in getting Zarqawi.

   [12]Iraqi Screen is sleeping on the roof.

   24 Steps to Liberty reports two stories from the Iraqi Memory
   Foundation, a non-governmental organization founded to document "the
   miseries that Iraq and Iraqis had lived under the Ba'ath Party and
   Saddam Hussein". Just because some are nostalgic doesn't mean all
   Iraqis do. Testimonies [13]here and [14]here.

   [15]Baghdad Connect comments on Saddam and his trial.

   [16]Iran al-Rafidain, commenting about the incidents at Haditha,
   observes that the Coalition forces are the only group operating in
   Iraq with transparency or accountability.

   [17]neurotic iraqi wife and Hubby have left Iraq and, consequently,
   this may be the last time I link to one of her posts in the CoL. She
   comments on the slow pace of reconstruction in Iraq.

   Miriam of [18]Pearls of Iraq is taking a leave of absence from
   blogging and is looking for help in keeping her blog going.

   [19]Thought Riot posts some fascinating observations about a Saudi, an
   Iranian, a Kuwaiti, a Moroccan, a Palestinian, Tunisians and
   Algerians, and an Egyptian.

   Dave Schuler posts regularly to his own weblog, [20]The Glittering
   Eye. The Carnival was originally conceived by Ryan Boots.
