When the blogger behind Ten Percent and I started the blogswarm, I had hoped there would be a lot of participation, but I didn't think it would get to over 200 blogs. I love being pleasantly surprised. It is so reassuring to see that so many people are caring and informed enough to call for an end to this nutty war, despite the efforts of the corporate media to distract us from it.
Of course, the news from Iraq has a way of bringing one back to Earth really fast.
5 US Soldiers Killed in Baghdad Bombing
I cannot help but wonder how many Iraqis were killed by US troops today, fighting in a corrupt war at the insistence of the Bush regime. The corporate media seldom cover that. Watching CNN, for instance, you would think that almost all Iraqis being killed are dying as the result of attacks from other Iraqis. Iraqi on Iraqi violence certainly is occurring, but that is far from the whole story.

Thanks for commenting on my blog! You have a great blog - I'll add you to my blogroll.
In regard to the coverage of the war, the thing that bothers me is the way they count every American soldier that is killed (as they should) but you never hear any estimates on the news of how many Iraqis have been killed. And we know most of them were killed by the good ol' USA.
hi, libhom
I really appreciate your no BS, no-frills, informative posts. It's empowering to come here and find concrete ways that we can help prevent our country from going down the drain and trying to take the rest of the world down with it.
Peace,

Notes is way way in, not sure which angle i am gonna rage against the machine about BUT i seriously hope its enough to make the MSM as a blogoverse phenomenon..ie at least let notice what the heck these swarms are so i suggest some industrious person with email addy to the stations send out a press release type of email..alerting them..that there is pro peace demonstration occuring...and let them know...bottom line we are NOT ASLEEP. may not be in the streets but we are here , we care..etc. And we want a IMMEDIATE END to pro surge propaganda and this illegal , pre emptive insane 5 yr old Murder spree - good job godless..you and tengrain ..why to go...
much love - proggie
Good luck with the blogswarm.
I am sending out an email today to all the writers at Sirens Chronicles to see how many will be writing that day.
I will be participating both on my personal blog and Sirens. Several of the Sirens writers will be putting up posts for the Blogswarm on their personal blogs and at Sirens Chronicles as well.
If you like I will give you those blog addy's..just let me know ok?
A warm Cyber hug to you Libhomo for all the work you have put into this endeavor.
Oh, and I am going to promote the Blogswarm today on Bring it ON..another progressive site I write for. I will crosspost one of my IraqWar posts there that day. :)
My pencils sharpened and my muse is frothing at the mouth! She wishes the blogswarm was now!
I went, I signed up too.
