   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 videos, forced migration, a deconstruction of the insurgency, and
   much more.

   [1]24 Steps to Liberty posts his prescription for Iraq. It's sensible,
   fact-based, and a complete political non-starter both in U. S. and in
   Iraq.

   Resuming posting after a three month hiatus, Abu Khaleel of [2]A
   Glimpse of Iraq re-surfaces to post about the varied groups clumped
   together as "the insurgency".

   [3]Iraqi Konfused Kid posts a video tribute to his four friends who
   were killed by a roadside bomb earlier this year.

   [4]Hammorabi posts on what he refers to as the "siege of Sadr City".

   I linked to it here earlier this week and I'm linking to it again:
   read Omar of [5]Iraq the Model's analysis of what's at stake in the
   battle for Iraq.

   neurotic iraqi wife posts on life in the Green Zone [6]here and
   [7]here.

   Miriam of [8]Pearls of Iraq posts a number of videos of Kurdistan.

   [9]Sooni posts about the situation in Iraq. Here's a snippet that
   tallies with my opinion:

     Iraq is now on the edge of all-out civil war, the American troops
     act now like a safety valve and it is definite that Iraq will
     explode if those forces leave now.

   Lots more in an interview format. Read the whole thing.

   Alaa of [10]The Mesopotamian posts on "flirting with Sayed Ali".

   Fatima of [11]Thoughts from Baghdad tells a story of forced migration,
   "the changing landscape of Baghdad".

   Dave Schuler posts regularly to his own weblog, [12]The Glittering
   Eye. The Carnival was originally conceived by Ryan Boots.
