   No Carnival of the Liberated today. There just isn't enough
   sufficiently interesting to have one. Call it a measure of the
   electrical problems, the general discouragement of the Iraqis, or that
   so many of the Iraqi bloggers have left Iraq but it's darned quiet out
   there.

   I did want to bring one post to your attention, however. [1]Iraqi
   Konfused Kid has begun posting a translation of an article written
   more than 50 years ago by Ali al-Wardi, historian and father of Iraqi
   sociology, Glimpses in the Social History of Modern Iraq. To the best
   of anybody's knowledge this hasn't been available in English until
   now, so seize the opportunity to pick some information on the
   background of the conflicts there.

   Highly recommended.
