Wonderful, wonderful news! After over a month and a half of silence, Salam Pax is back posting! Since his last post, I'd been checking at least every 2 or 3 days to see if he was there, and earlier today, wham! new posts!

For those of you who haven't heard of him, he's a blogger posting from Baghdad. Here's and old article with more info, and here a recent article about his reappearance. If you haven't yet, I urge you to go read his posts. The ones from February onwards are the most relevant if you want to read his account of the run-up to the war and of the war itself, but the months before that are worth reading too. The guy has a sense of humour that really appeals to me... great sense of the absurd. Anyway, welcome back!
