Residents of Baghdad are systematically being pushed out of the city. Some families are waking up to find a Klashnikov bullet and a letter in an envelope with the words “Leave your area or else.”

1. I really can not imagine what it must be like to get a threat like above.

2. God. I hope she leaves the country I wish her and her family the best, but
if she stays its only a matter of time before all that danger and violence our country has stirred up there will claim her.

3. That blog is a godsend.
How else could we get such a personal view of what's happening in Iraq? She's a treasure.

4. I admire her greatly, and worry about her
My 16 yr old grand daughter is reading her blog. She ask me questions about this war, and I felt it would help her understand easier. I think all teenagers should be reading it. She intends to use some of it in her social studies this year.
