I put Middle Earth Journal in hiatus in May of 2008 and moved to Newshoggers.
I temporarily reopened Middle Earth Journal when Newshoggers shut it's doors but I was invited to Participate at The Moderate Voice so Middle Earth Journal is once again in hiatus.

Making "Progress"

I'm glad were making "progress" in Iraq, think how bad it would be if we weren't.

At Least 20 Killed in Bombing in Iraq
A suicide attacker detonated a car bomb near a crowd of people waiting to apply for jobs with the Iraqi National Guard in the northern city of Kirkuk on Saturday, killing at least 20 people and wounding 16, officials said.

Also Saturday, the pan-Arab television station Al-Jazeera aired video footage of what it said were two Americans and a Briton kidnapped two days ago from their house in central Baghdad. Masked gunmen in the footage said they would be killed if female inmates are not released from two Iraqi prisons in 48 hours.
And this was "progress" on Friday:
On Friday, at least 52 people were killed in nationwide violence. Dozens died in a wave of U.S. airstrikes in and around the insurgent stronghold of Fallujah, west of Baghad, targeting fighters loyal to al-Zarqawi.
I'm sure the families of those killed are really impressed with our progress. We are making so much progress that many journalists along with the NGO's are leaving because it is just too unsafe. Before too long we won't know how much progress were making in Iraq.
