Kandahar Chronicles gives insight into "the day-to-day life of a relief worker based in Kandahar Afghanistan", but is unavailable for now: "Due to immediate security concerns in Kandahar, the Kandahar Chronicles has been temporarily suspended. We hope to return in the first week of September with more updates from Carlos."

Meanwhile, there is a new blog from the second country "perpetual war on terror" has been carried into: Baghdad Burning is on war, politics and occupation, written by someone who calls herself Riverbend: "I'm female, Iraqi and 24. I survived the war. That's all you need to know. It's all that matters these days anyway."
