Sudarsan Raghavan, who was in a Green Zone cafeteria on Thursday when it was struck by a suicide bomber, says in a chat that "the mood today is one of shock and despair. You hear everyday Iraqis asking questions like: How can our government protect us when it can't even protect itself?" A chatter praises him for writing "such a vivid, clear-headed
article so soon after the bombing." His response: "I just wrote what I saw, heard, smelled, and felt."
