I was listening to NPR online today and clicked on this sidebar link about the death toll in Iraq entitled The Toll of War . I think they really did a wonderful job showing statistics of both the American troops and the Iraqi civilians. Another great feature is that you can click on a particular month and a box pops up with a story pertaining to casualities in that month along with the option of listening to an excerpt from a sound clip of the story.
For example, in January 2007 the title reads: Schools Targeted and then gives an short summary. "In Baghadad car bombs kills 70 at a university..." You can click to see the whole story. Each month has another story. I totally recommend checking it out.

Yes, even though the war is 'less horrible' it is still a quagmire. Unlike the two halves of Korea, where each antagonist was severed
it is far more entangled even than the RVN trauma, where one never truly knew, like my big brother, though i haven't asked him, to be fair, who or where the combatants were.
in this foul mire our beloved land is in, can anyone truly believe even if the three sides (divide that into twenty more sides in fact) will ever really go along even with their own agreements?
has there ever been a roadside bomb in all of Korea's Hx? So for JMcC to compare them is in error.
I salute all the youth who say Heck No, this war is not righteous
You all rock, especially my awesome niece
