george's Body Count

John at Dymaxion World asks:

4,000 souls to haunt George W. Bush.

How many more?

The 4,000 dead meme has been all around the news and blogosphere today.

Most, like, John seem to ignore that w and his crew should also be haunted by the thousands of wounded and, by the numbers, the many more dead, wounded and uprooted Iraqis.

Update 3/25: For a much more detailed explication of this point please see Anthony Gregory's post, Human Death Toll in Iraq, at Liberty & Power.
