Juan Cole imagines what America would look like if we were suffering what the Iraqis are suffering through:
What if 3,300 Americans had died in car bombings, grenade and rocket attacks, machine gun spray, and aerial bombardment in the last week? That is a number greater than the deaths on September 11, and if America were Iraq, it would be an ongoing, weekly or monthly toll.
I would like to see every single blog link to Cole’s post. Maybe we can get through to a few people….
UPDATE:
the Bush administration’s plan to divert $3.46 billion from water, sewage, electricity and other reconstruction projects to security could leave many people without the crucial services that generally form the backbone of a stable and functioning democracy.
