The opening as it read in 2015

Raed Jarrar ( ) is an Arab-American architect, blogger, and political advocate based in the U.S. Jarrar was born in Iraq , and raised in Jordan , Saudi Arabia and Iraq . He is half Iraqi and half Palestinian . He holds a degree in architecture from the University of Baghdad , and a Master's Degree in Architectural Engineering, specialized in post-war reconstruction, from the University of Jordan . While attending the University of Baghdad, he met the fellow architecture student later known as Salam Pax . Jarrar first gained prominence as the person referenced in the title of the blog "Where is Raed?", written and maintained by Salam Pax , to which Jarrar himself made infrequent posts. This blog received widespread media coverage during the 2003 invasion of Iraq and afterwards. Jarrar, along with his family, compiled their blogs into The Iraq War Blog, An Iraqi Family's Inside View of the First Year of the Occupation , which was published in June 2008. The book explores, through their words, how their lives were affected as terrorist activities, as well as the American military and coalition allies response, devastated the city. They persevered through night attacks and daytime missile strikes that often wreaked destruction to their home by blowing doors off hinges and breaking windows. The Jarrar family, while chronicling their daily lives amid the destruction, also provides descriptive analysis of the political climate that resulted from the American occupation of the country. After the fall of Baghdad in 2003, Jarrar worked as the country director of CIVIC Worldwide, the only door-to-door civilian casualties survey in Iraq since 2003. He also founded Emaar, an NGO that carried out humanitarian and reconstruction work in Baghdad and southern Iraq.1
