Disgusting

Treasure of Baghdad

...Today, two things frustrated me. The first one was Maliki’s decision to wait to disarm militias. He said this will happen by "the end of this year or the beginning of the coming year." When I saw the headline in USA Today’s article, I was so frustrated. I read the article and was more frustrated. What the heck he is talking about? Hundreds of people are dying because of the militias and death squads. I mean HUNDREDS!!! Which means a digit followed by two more digits on the right. Each digit is a soul! A life! A person!

...There is an ongoing genocide in Iraq. What else can over 600,000 killings be deemed but genocide? A price "worth it"? George W. Bush, who some consider the elected president of the United States, labeled the killings in Darfur as genocide over a year ago. But, in totality and proportionally, the number of deaths in Sudan pale in comparison to the number of deaths in Iraq. Sudan with a population of 41,236,378 (July 2006, CIA Factbook estimate) is purported by some sources to have incurred 200,000 deaths from "fighting, famine and disease." Using the figure cited in the latest Lancet to-be-published study, Iraq with a population of 26,783,383 (July 2006, CIA Factbook estimate) has a far greater extraordinary fatality rate covering approximately the same period of time...
