Postcolonial Iraq

The last time that someone wrote a blog on this site was March 18, 2007, where the author only posted to it once a month.

The author addresses such topics as

• Farsakh Comment on Future Vision
• The Future Vision Of The Palestinian-Arabs In Israel
• Consociational Hezbollah
• Israel's Arab community and the bi-national state
• Iraqis Seek to Stem Sectarian Violence

Many of the posts are just a few sentences, then it has written work by others pasted into the post. I feel that the author finds these other articles out on the web, and uses them in their blog so that they can create some type of conversation. However, I don't feel that the author is successful because many of the posts do not have comments.

The author's style of writing is very articulate and scholarly; Jelloul, the author of the posts, clearly has some opinion on the matter, but after reading what he had to say, I can't say that I'm certain what it is.

This blog left me confusing and wondering why Jelloul even wrote in it; at the very top of the blog is says that this blog is about "a postcolonial Iraq watch dedicated to genuine Iraqi self-determination; a post-fundamentalist and post-liberal watch for consociational patriotism and a confessionalism beyond religious as well as secular sectarianism." Honestly, I don't even understand what that means. This blog is defiantly meant for someone that follows both Iraq and is scholarly.
