How many knew that a Baghdad University dean, his wife and son

were gunned down yesterday?

That the violence continues in Iraq?

One would not know if the sole source of info is network news, where Kerry and that new evangelical hypocrite ruled the news.

1. according to Tony Snowflake there has been a 21% reduction.

of course, he did not say a reduction of what. Maybe he was talking about the number of administrators still alive in iraqNam.

4. There are so many people being killed in Baghdad right now...

...I think the only people who can "keep up" with the tally are probably the grieving families of the dead.

6. Yes,

he was Shi'ite, I believe.

NPR talked about it on ME. I believe I saw it in the NYT, as well.

It makes sense in a communal framework, esp. one in which there's a supremacist element.

9. The sooner they split Iraq into three countries

with shared oil revenues, the better.

I think that the death toll of Iraqis now is worse then when Yugoslavia split up.

With atrocities to match.
