   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've
   got some very small signs of hope, the death of a poet, some new
   blogs, and much, much more.

   Is the cup half empty or half full? [1]Sunleaf examines the state of
   education in Afghanistan. They've come a long way but they've still
   got a long way to go.

   I make a practice of not linking to ex-pat Iraqi bloggers in the CotL
   but I did want to mention that 24 Steps to Liberty has been joined by
   [2]Ali, a 17 year old Iraqi newly arrived in the U. S.

   [3]Iraqi Konfused Kid has compiled his reviews of documentaries
   directly or peripherally about Iraq.

   [4]Chikitita's report of changing conditions in her Baghdad
   neighborhood is actually a bit cheery. That's certainly an
   improvement.

   [5]Even Hammorabi (who's been very negative ever since the bombing of
   the al-Askari mosque last year) sounds a small note of hope at the end
   of this post. And does anyone believe that the problems in Iraq can be
   solved by military force alone?

   [6]Hometown Baghdad has wrapped.

   [7]Ibn al-Rafidain has more on de-Ba'athification.

   [8]Iraq's most eminent woman poet has died.

   [9]Nabil gives a recap of operations in the Adhamiya neighborhood of
   Baghdad.

   [10]neurotic iraqi wife comments at length (and with disturbing
   pictures) on the story of the horrific conditions that were discovered
   at an Iraqi orphanage.

   And there are several new Iraqi blogs. [11]Last of Iraqis is yet
   another Iraqi dentist (Zeyad's cousin). There's also a welcome blog
   from Iraqi Kurdistan, [12]Kurdistan Diary. Hat tip: [13]Iraq Blog
   Count.

   Dave Schuler posts regularly to his own weblog, [14]The Glittering
   Eye. The Carnival was originally conceived by Ryan Boots.
