1600 executions/month is not that many really.. you have to put things into perspective, consider the size of Baghdad, which is estimated at 4-5 million... Let's say 4.5 million. At that size you're chances of being killed in Baghdad during July were 1 in 2800...

Consider this, your chances of developing skin cancer during your life time is 1 in 5.... chances of getting colorectal cancer is 1 in 17..

I'll take my chances in Baghdad.. it's a lot safer than living in the u.s.

The new tone on Iraq - zero good news so we'll try the "LBJ Domino effect" - if we lose in Iraq, then Saudi Arabia will fall, etc etc.

Who says this fiasco isn't like Vietnam?

You think it's bad now between the Sunnis and the Shiites, wait until Bush nukes Iran (October?) and to pay us back the infuriated Iranian Shi'ites -- by the tens of thousands -- cross the Iraq border to join their Muslim Shi-ite brothers in annihilating every last Sunni Muslim and American soldier left in Iraq.

"At least 973 violent deaths were recorded throughout Iraq in August as of Wednesday, Dr. Riad Abdul Amir of the Health Ministry's statistics bureau told The Associated Press. They included 715 civilians, 80 Iraqi soldiers, 74 police and 104 "terrorists," he said."

............

"That represents a significant drop from the Health Ministry's July figure of 3,500 deaths, reported by Deputy Health Minister Adel Muhsin. He said that was the highest monthly figure recorded since the war began in March 2003."
