5. is anyone keeping count of the number of iraqis dead?

or are they just not that important? why dont we have the number of iraqi dead shoved down our throats EVERY DAY? they have families, they have children, they have parents and grandparents and extended families. they didn't ask for this

6. There's a war? Where?

I'm aware of the occupation of a formerly sovereign nation but I can't seem to recall any war.

8. How about 111 Died of Self-inflicted wounds?

Army: 95
Navy: 3
Marines: 13
Air Force: 0
Total = 111

I wonder if this number includes "accidents" or only suicides. Either way, it says a lot.
