   Welcome to the Carnival of the Liberated, a sampler of some of the
   best posts of the week from Iraqi and Afghan bloggers. This week we
   have violence in Baghdad, curfew, the Gemayel assassination, and much,
   much more.

   [1]Afghan Lord is going on a somewhat mysterious journey.

   [2]Baghdad Bacon & Eggs has some interesting reflections on Sadr City,
   the largely Shi'a neighborhood in Baghdad where so much of the
   violence is taking place.

   [3]Baghdad Connect has an interesting perspective and some novel
   insights on what's going on in Baghdad: he portrays it as gang
   warfare.
   [4]Roads to Iraq explores the connection between Iraq and the
   assassination of Pierre Gemayel in Lebanon last week.

   I found [5]Freedom of Mind's answers to some questions from an
   American reader very thought-provoking.

   Zeyad of [6]Healing Iraq translates posts from Iraqi message boards on
   the situation in Baghdad.

   Mohammed of [7]Iraq the Model reports on the difficulties and dangers
   he's faced in the last week over what's going on in Baghdad.

   What's in a name? Quite a lot these days in Baghdad according to
   Ishtar of [8]Iraqi Screen.

   Marshmallow26 of [9]Iraqi Roses has a long, eloquent lament on the
   violence.

   [10]Nabil is afraid.

   [11]neurotic iraqi wife posts on the shortcomings of democracy in
   Iraq.

   Fatima of [12]Thoughts from Baghdad recounts what life under curfew is
   like with remarkably good humour, I think.

   Dave Schuler posts regularly to his own weblog, [13]The Glittering
   Eye. The Carnival was originally conceived by Ryan Boots.
