Syndicated columnist Anne Coulter can be somewhat attractive sometimes:

The appeal, however, is spoiled by the fact that she's a crazy Right-wing loud-mouth. I guess you can't have everything.

Natsuki Ikezawa, a Japanese novelist and poet recently took a trip to Iraq and wrote a wonderful book called On a Small Bridge in Iraq. It's available for download free of charge at that link and is well worth the time to look through (it's only about 35 pages -- with pictures too!). It provides a perspective that westerners rarely see: the lives of the Iraqi people which we are preparing to destroy. I won't comment any more about whether it is a balanced portrayal, but there are some comments on the Ebook which criticize the author's position. Read it and judge for yourself.
