Iraq the Model

Omar from Iraq the Model has a new post up where he attempts to reconcile the prevalent questions of the day with the reality of an event he's recently experienced.

I've been reading Omar since he first hit celebrity blog status in the rightwingersphere of blogdom in late 2003-early 2004. Since then he's been a roller coaster ride of both optimism and horror, blogging openly of what he's seen, his hopes, his wishes, his dismay, and his fear. A strong proponent of the American invasion (hence his popularity among the rightwing bloggerazzi), I've often wondered if there's any point at which he would say, "If I'd have know it would turn out like this..."

At any rate, I definitely recommend Iraq the Model for a weekly read although his commenters take some getting used to since they usually show their support through ignorant or inane rhetoric. For example, the post I linked above incited some people to essentially blame Omar for the situation because he has not picked up a gun and personally attempted to take out the militia. True, he'd get his little dentist self immediately killed, but hey... freedom isn't free.

I've noticed the same trend at Michael J. Totten's blog... interesting blog, scary horde of commenters.
