infrogmationTwo items from today's news:
From CNN: "The death toll from the September 11 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center has been revised down to 3,050, the New York Office of Emergency Management said Saturday. "

From CommonDreams: "More than 3,500 civilians have been killed in Afghanistan by U.S. bombs, according to a study to be released December 10 by Marc W. Herold, Professor of Economics, International Relations, and Women's Studies at the University of New Hampshire. "

So, apparently, we've killed more innocent civilians in a nation with less than 1/10th the population of the USA than the terrorists killed on 11 September.
Do we get to declare victory now?
Will I be forgiven if I decline to wave a flag and shout "USA! USA!" in celebration of this news?

Eh? I didn't.
"almost anything could be a better source."
Why do you think that?
If I thought that, I wouldn't have posted the link.
