BBC NEWS | World | Middle East | Conflict 'kills 25,000 Iraqis'
This is, if anything, an underestimation of deaths and, believe me, all insurgent deaths known to anyone at all will be reported (it serves the authorities to report them, to show how lethal and to be combatted they are) so what are we left with?
We have most deaths by disenfranchised/greedy criminals and occupation forces killing most Iraqis. And more than ever.
And, meanwhile, our leaders walk around in some deluded stupor.
We have another famine, this time in Niger, which had been warned about for months. Guess what, nothing was done and so yet more poor people are dying of nothing but hunger. Angry is not the word...

Newsday.com: 18 Killed in Clashes Near Afghan Border
Newsday.com: 18 Killed in Clashes Near Afghan Border: "Pakistani soldiers fought militants in a northwestern tribal region near the Afghan border, the military said Sunday. Eighteen people, including one soldier, died in the clash.
A military statement said some of the dead were women and children, while a military official told The AP that a majority of those killed were women and children who were believed to be members of the militants' families. "
We are really gonna burn if so many of our allies (nevermind the US) are so "clumsy" as to kill women and children of Muslim/taleban/militant fighters. This is so counterproductive.
Hunting of terrorists - whoever they may be - is entirely necessary but it's gotta be done properly. A bit less bulldozing, rocketing please and massacring has got to be avoided.

Please god this sort of, as the Americans will see it, entanglement with Iran will make it politically impossible for the US to support invasion or even Israeli bombing - which the Israelis have all but threatened on more than one occasion and, in fact, performed already once.
