IRAQ:
Following the recent report that 2,000 American soldiers have died in Bush's war (for purposes never clearly understood), private sources are now saying that somewhere between 20,000 and 30,000 Iarqis have died.
The Administration, however, still insists that this is not a civil war. It seems there is importance to using the proper term. Let's understand that the word "insurgency" does NOT mean a group of trouble makers who have arrived from some other place.
