One of the posts I missed from BADD 2008 was an entry from The Gimp Parade called The Most Important Disability Policy. It includes photos of children in Iraq left with disabilities as a result of the war, and, much like the post The Big Picture from Planet of the Blind which I already linked to, discusses disability issues and human rights from a global perspective. So I wanted to get a link up for that since I didn't.
I also wanted to mention over at Media Dis n Dat, I saw an article about a disability advocate who is visiting Iraq to help 35 people with disabilities learn to advocate for themselves. This is, however, not a "feel good" moment, although I applaud his efforts. It is a daunting task considering the collapse of the infrastructure due to the war.
