Thoughts on politics, war, culture and food from a New Orleans native in London. Iraqi Casualties in Perspective.

Looking at civilian casualty numbers for Spain during Spanish Civil War also casts some light. During the three years of that conflict about 300,000 civilians were killed, or about 8000 a month.

Thoughts on politics, war, culture and food from a New Orleans native in London. Republican nomination hopefuls Mitt Romney, the evolution-denying Mormon, and Mike Huckabee, the evolution-denying evangelical, are the two front runners for the US Republican Party nomination in.
