Geekman's World: WTF? OMG! WOW LOTR? LOL!!!1!

Angela is back from Europe now. We spent the evening together yesterday. We are very happy. You'll meet her soon, if you haven't already.

For those of you who have ever wondered what The Fellowship of the Ring would look like if it were a quest in World of Warcraft, I'd say that this describes the scenario with a painful degree of accuracy.

Another milestone was acheived this week in the glorious pile of shit that is human civilization. The American military death toll in Iraq has now topped 2,000. That's 2,000 American soldiers dead. We're not counting Brits and other nationals. We're not counting Iraq civillians killed in "unfortunate incidents" as the U.S. likes to call them. We're not counting the hordes of civillian workers who have been kidnapped and killed by insurgents. And we haven't even touched on the soliders and civillians on all sides who have been wounded, crippled, or disfigured. I wonder, Mr. Bush, do you sleep well at night, safe in the delusion that you are making the world a better place by ridding it of terrorism?

Todays headline, the comments by Iranian president Ahmadinejehad will justify everything Bush has done so far unfortunately.

The exact number of Iraqi fatalities since this lattest incursion began was (at the time that I read it) between 26690 and 30051 depending which agency you asked.

Of course, it all depends on who you ask. Everyone's got their own individual spin on the facts. Islamic news organizations are obviously going to inflate the numbers as much as they think they can get away with. They might even include the fatalities caused by Iraqi insurgents themselves.

Finding concrete data on many things is difficult in this day and age. Matt Good has complained that, thanks to the internet, we have rapidly entered an age where it is impossible to filter though the amount of information available to us. When people put spin on bare facts without disclaimer, there's really no way to get accurate information about anything.
