#1 We have never seen though, neighbor turning against neighbor and friend upon his erstwhile friend, even kin against kin; not in our recent history at any rate

Utter rubbish. Honour killings alone belie this.

#2 In my opinion Alaa is almost always RB-worthy. Furthermore, as an actual observer of the events, what he writes is substantially more 'news reporting' than most 'real' news articles. (Thinemp: 'honor' killings are a special subset of the kind of kin-on-kin killing he is writing about, and as I understand it, such killings have not been acceptable in Iraq in the past either.)
