Dear Raed
During the second Gulf War a blog emerged written by an English-speaking resident of Baghdad. Going by the moniker Salam Pax, he described life in war-time Iraq from a fresh perspective.
The media eventually jumped on the bandwagon, and Salam Pax stories were everywhere. The Guardian began running Pax columns and Pax even has his own book, Salam Pax: The Clandestine Diary of an Ordinary Iraqi.
