Challenge Your WorldView

Yes, a handy AIESEC catchphrase to sum up today's contribution.

I have started a list of interesting blogs. I have only three on the list so far, but I like them all.

1. Healing Iraq. A blog by an Iraqi expat. If you want an up to date, in depth, balanced (as far as I can tell) look into what's really happening in Iraq, read this.

2. Hometown Baghdad. Short films made by three Iraqi students, trying to live normally in the chaos that surrounds them. Interesting little snippits of a world I hope I never know.

3. Westy, the most inspiring AIESECer I've ever met. Working on the expansion in Bahrain, this guy makes some really astute observations. And he always makes me feel shallow. (In a good way).
