Want to do something besides worry about the fate of Western Civilization? Go to Fayrouz’s blog and send a little help to the widow of the translator, Alan Enwiya, who was killed when reporter Jill Carroll was kidnapped in Iraq. There’s a blogroll of Iraqi blogs there that makes for some fascinating reading. And here’s a tribute to Alan, a music buff who loved Pink Floyd.

Mickey – short note to thank you very much for your comment on firedoglake linking to the donations to Allan Enwiya’s widow on Fayouz’s site. Let’s hope it results in a donation or two. Like Jane I’m purposefully not saying things at the moment I will say that I’m not awfully optimistic.
