A note that I've re-published the figures of American troop deaths to reflect those supplied by the Department of Defense and the Iraq Coalition Casualty Count, but I am also republishing the link to this article. For those of you writing in to bitch about me being some sort of ghoul, I reply that I am only reprinting official figures which come from a branch of the United States government; I don't enjoy seeing those numbers go up, quite the contrary. In fact, I could easily be accused of jingoism, or nationalistic self-centrism (or something) as I am entirely omitting available figures on other coalition (i.e., British) forces, not to mention the high but imprecise numbers for Iraqi military and civilian deaths, or today's murders of United Nations workers. I just don't want anyone to think that war takes a summer vacation. |
