Druzopotamia: Drujahideen
http://wardruz.blogspot.com/2009/11/drujahideen.html
Wednesday, November 11, 2009. Growing a beard for Afghanistan. Not quite the length of a clenched fist, as prescribed by the Taliban, but we're getting there. Youll totally blend in, Im sure.

Druzopotamia: September 2009
http://wardruz.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, September 15, 2009. A disturbing new trend. Could Uggs be far behind? BAGHDAD - As if suicide bombings, a crumbling infrastructure, and a shattered economy aren't enough, it appears the Iraqi youth are falling prey to a sinister force, blowing like a sandstorm across the Atlantic from American frat houses and congressional offices: the popped collar.

Druzopotamia: March 2009
http://wardruz.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Wednesday, March 18, 2009. Let me read you a bed time story. Understandably, but unfortunately, many Saddam murals were destroyed during the U.S. invasion and amid Iraqi rage afterwards, so it's always a treat when I find his propoganda intact. It really gives a flavor of his weird cult of personality. In this former palace in Mosul (now a father fetid Army combat outpost) he is protector of the innocent, caretaker of the elderly and just an all around friendly guy. Sunday, March 15, 2009. We wound our w...

Druzopotamia: April 2009
http://wardruz.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, April 23, 2009. Middle Feast: eating and drink my way across the Levant. Who's got a kiss for Uncle Bashir? Damscus' hippest get their freak on at the ominously named Zodiac night club. An odd photo to highlight Syria perhaps, but it shows that the country is much more complex than is often portrayed. Dictatorship? Post man-scrub at a 12th-century hammam in Damscus. Six of us crammed into this luxurious "service taxi" for the two-hour crawl through the mountains from Beirut to the Syrian border...

Druzopotamia: How Bazaar
http://wardruz.blogspot.com/2010/03/how-bazaar.html
Tuesday, March 2, 2010. A man unloads crates at the Khanjankhel bazaar, several kilometers away from any vestige of government influence, where the Taliban holds heavy sway. The principal of a secondary school in Wardak Province prepares tea for visiting soldiers in his nearly bare office. Fruit sellers look skeptically at a patrol of soldiers walking through a bazaar in Wardak Province. Like Idaho, but with more guns (really) and fewer cowboy hats. March 3, 2010 at 10:45 AM.

Druzopotamia: Boom
http://wardruz.blogspot.com/2009/12/boom.html
Monday, December 14, 2009. Our convoy was hit by three bombs the other day near Kandahar. I'm off sudden, loud noises for a while. It was, I suppose, as good a time as any to pray. Is really the only sentiment I can express. December 14, 2009 at 7:36 AM. Is Boom the first word which came up to your mind for your laconic post? December 30, 2009 at 1:24 PM.

Druzopotamia: Co-ed showers
http://wardruz.blogspot.com/2009/12/co-ed-showers.html
Wednesday, December 9, 2009. KANDAHAR, Afghanistan - This is my new favorite thing in Afghanistan: the Dutch have a model windmill on one of their compounds. It even has a little flashing light at night in case a C-130 is flying 15 feet off the ground. The rumor is, they also have co-ed shower trailers. Clearly this merits further investigation .

Druzopotamia: 'Salaam aleikum, regular or goofy?'
http://wardruz.blogspot.com/2009/11/salaam-aleikum-regular-or-goofy.html
Monday, November 16, 2009. Salaam aleikum, regular or goofy? DUBAI, United Arab Emirates - Like many things in Dubai the skiing can be found in the mall. Just past the perfume shop, left at the TGI Fridays, there it is. Don't worry about warm clothes, as no one in Dubai owns them. All is provided with your lift pass. I've been in Dubai the past two days to get my Afghan visa and I took the opportunity to cram in a little surreal play before the austere two months that start tomorrow, when I hop on my fli...
