The Blogs of War

Amid the growing media attention surrounding the Israel-Lebanon-Hezbollah conflict in the Middle East, dozens of independent blogs are providing eyewitness accounts and describing what life is like in the middle of a war. Crawford Kilian offers a rundown of a number of blogs whose views range from pro-Hezbollah to pro-Israel. According to Lisa Goldman, the war in Lebanon may be "the first conflict to be blogged from day one" and "the first time that residents of 'enemy' countries engaged in an ongoing conversation while missiles were falling."
