Death in Quantity

Tuesday, April 24th, 2007

“You humans find it easier to understand the death of one than the death of a million” - Commander Spock, The Immunity Syndrome

As of 4/24/2007, Iraqbodycount.org tallys reported civilian deaths between 62281.

The Washington Post reported on October 11, 2006 that a team of American and Iraqi epidemiologists estimates that 655,000 more people have died in Iraq since coalition forces arrived in March 2003 than would have died if the invasion had not occurred.

I lost count 3 times and got tired before I finished counting the number of single days during this four year war that more than 33 Iraqi civilians died.

You get the point.

Thanks to Esther for inspiring the comparison.
