HMM
The Iraq civlian casualty number keeps going up, to 764 after 2 weeks and 2 days.
What I'm wondering is: 764 Iraqi civilian deaths every 16 days is our current rate in this war. Something tells me that's probably far above Saddam's 16-day average over the course of his rule.
Let's see, according to this article, there is a stat that Saddam killed 100,000 of his own people in a 20-year period as dictator.
20 years x 365 days, plus 5 leap year days, equals 7305 days. Divide by 16 days, and you get 456.5625 periods of 16 days. Thus, we need only to divide 100,000 by that number to compare Saddams rate of slaughtering Iraqis to our own.
100,000/456.5625 = 219.03 dead Iraqis every 16 days
Meaning: we are killing Iraqi civilians at three and a half times the rate Saddam Hussein has. How bout that moral clarity!
