It's only natural we become inured to the atrocities reported out of Iraq. Car bombings, kidnappings, shootings—the daily horrors faced by Iraqis boggle the mind and assail the soul. This weekly vlog lends faces and voices to the people given short shrift by statistics and headlines. This is coverage of the war as seen through the eyes of ordinary citizens: an Iraqi priest relates the perils of worshipping as a Christian; a taxi driver offers tales of extreme violence as he waits to buy gas; a Kurdish teen describes his experience in a refugee camp; and an Arab journalist reports that Iraqis will no longer accept help from U.S. soldiers. The most disturbing segments include graphic interviews with car-bomb survivors. These are the people you only catch glimpses of in the background of network news reports, the people we usually refer to simply as "the Iraqis." And they have something to say.
