Welcome back Pax

For the first time in months, Salam Pax has posted to his blog, Shut Up You Fat Whiner. In fact he's trying out audioblogging. (It's also great to see that he hasn't lost his love of using the word "thingy".)

It's interesting to hear how his viewpoint on Iraq has changed. here's an extract:

I know it's been a while and a lot has changed since I wrote on the weblog ... I've lost, really, a lot of the optimism I used to have. I mean no longer think it just has to get better, it's kind of, you're not really sure which way it's going. I'm not only blaming the American administration for the huge fuckups and the lack of vision, I'm really disappointed with Iraqis. Instead of seeing the removal of Saddam as a great chance to build something good out of the rubble of what he and the war left us, we seem to be sinking deeper into chaos from internal disputes.
