A Relative Scale


Compared to Baghdad, human life in Casablanca was a precious commodity:

Figures compiled by the AP from Iraqi police reports show that 1,586 civilians were killed in Baghdad between the start of the offensive and Thursday.

That represents a sharp drop from the 2,871 civilians who died violently in the capital during the two months that preceded the security crackdown.

Outside the capital, 1,504 civilians were killed between Feb. 14 and Thursday, April 12 compared with 1,009 deaths during the two previous months, the AP figures show.


And how is this being presented? Why, as a cause for celebration. Baghdad's only chin deep in blood...last month it was eyeball deep. Woo-hoo. Sheez...party at Shrub's place!

Oh, and can you believe this? With a straight face, Bush "renews call for a culture of life.". I mean, c'mon: there's not enough soap in all the world to wash the blood off him.
