Middle East Blogs (Part III)
The Middle East is really taking to blogging. People without a voice for so long, but as you can see, some very aware people. Thanks to blogging they are now starting to talk and a lot of what they are saying is very encouraging.
Iranian bloggers have been imprisoned and otherwise harassed but here is a listing of many of them. Regime Change in Iran as the name implies, certainly has an anti-mullah slant and can be quite interesting.
Moving now to Syria. The only blog I have found in Syria (in English) is that of a Syrian author in Damascus.
Likewise in Afghanistan I have only found one English language blog
Hope you find more, let me know if you do. We certainly have the ability to make ourselves more familiar with a very important region, without depending on our mass media.
