Iraqis Bloggers Can't Be Cloned

"For the last three years, Iraqi bloggers tried to bring their personal views to international readers. They write what they believe is correct the day they post their thoughts. Most of them were definitely much happier when they started blogging three years ago. But, when things started to change in Iraq, their opinions changed too. Even the most optimistic among the Iraqi bloggers have changed lately. It's part of life and the daily experience in Iraq.

We, the Iraqi bloggers, understand our change of mood and opinions. Unfortunately, our international readers don't seem to understand this simple fact. They expect us to continue to write the way we did three years ago. This applies to the readers from the left, right and center. It gets worse with our readers to the point where we wonder why they can't understand that our views change with time and circumstances."
