NEWS FLASH!

Joe Lieberman is alienating his fellow Dems in the Senate by continuing to make sense about the wisdom of setting a date to pull out of Iraq.

I must confess that there are times I wonder if the Iraqis are ever going to get it together. It's reported that 3400 Iraqis died last month in sectarian violence. However, Bagdad is a big city with millions of people, and these militias use murder bombers and IEDs to attack crowds of innocents. I wonder, if we were to visit the city, how many of these attacks we'd witness as we wandered about. Just as most of America would look perfectly normal just after 9/11 or Oklahoma City, I don't know whether bodycounts are the best way to measure the problem.
