   Welcome to the Carnival of the Liberated, a sampler of some of the
   best posts of the week from Iraqi and Afghani bloggers. First, to all
   of the Muslim Iraqi bloggers: Ramadan kareem. This week we have
   dividing Iraq, the Israeli involvement in Kurdistan, garbage
   collection, and more.

   I found this [1]briefing statement from Roads to Iraq on Iraqi Prime
   Minister Maliki's advisors interesting. It's apparently a translation
   from an Arabic language blog. I think this sort of scrutiny is a
   positive development.

   You might want to take a look at [2]first words, first walk,
   first...in Iraq's account of her friend's detention by the militia.

   [3]Hammorabi posts on the practice of fasting during Ramadan.

   [4]Ibn al-Rafidain considers the question "do we need the Americans?"
   On a related subject Omar of [5]Iraq the Model comments on the recent
   poll of Iraqis which found that a large proportion of Iraqis approves
   of attacks on Americans and wants them out.

   Omar of [6]Iraq the Model reports on Baghdad under curfew.

   [7]Iraqi Screen has a very interesting post on the founding of Moqtada
   al-Sadr's Mahdi army. The post appears to be fragmentary or an
   extensive quotation from another source but it's interesting
   nonetheless.

   [8]Iraqi Roulette has a long, rambling post on the violence there. In
   another post on violence [9]Thoughts from Baghdad notes multiple
   kidnappings of computer store employees.

   Dave Schuler posts regularly to his own weblog, [10]The Glittering
   Eye. The Carnival was originally conceived by Ryan Boots.
