I guess I'm the last person in the blogosphere to realize that the "new Iraqi blog," formerly called "Liberal Iraqi" and now just Free Iraqi, is Ali from Iraq the Model who's left to start his own thing. He explains why he quit the other blog in a seeming huff - no surprise, it's a lot less interesting than one might imagine. Seems like he's having as much trouble as a lot of other people in distinguishing between the American "Left" and "Right" and what the hell they think they're accomplishing half the time.
