Behind the cut is an e-mail I just sent to nationally syndicated conservative talk show host Glenn Beck. I subscribe to his "Insider" program to be able to listen online and have other perqs like priority e-mail.

Glenn,
I was talking with some friends about the Iraq situation tonight and he posted some weblogs from Iraqis and other people in the mideast region including some US soldiers in Iraq. Below is a list of sites from my friend Michael (Dak below) with some descriptions. http://messopotamian.blogspot.com/ had a particularly powerful post yesterday. Today you mentioned having new questions to answer regarding Iraq. I'm not sure if I have any, however I hope these will be of use in your show and will bring more insight to people that don't know what people over there actually think.
The chat log is below.
