Life is Better, Now, With Saddam Gone...

Progressive News - Lancet - Iraqi Civilian Casualties Tops 100,000 by Juan Cole

You see, there's this guy, Howie....I've known him since childhood...forty-one years. He says, of course, that things in Iraq are better now. Maybe that's not so....Estimates of deaths under Saddam range from 30-40,000 per year. At 100,000 in twenty months, one has to be pretty callous to say that things are "better" for the Iraqi people, at least in terms of life expectancy....at least so far.
