Livin' the life...

On April 18th 2007, I decided to start doing an Iraq Death Toll. This was mainly just to highlight the value of life for all of us, by comparing how easily life is lost in places such as Iraq. Sad to sad, work has me so busy lately, I haven't posted any counts for the last month or so. So, I'm sorry for that.

On the bright side though, I've found a site which is dedicated to providing just this information and on a daily basis! The site is iraqbodycount.org and I find it to be a pretty well-arranged information source. In commenting on the Iraq Body Count Project, Wikipedia writes "The Iraq Body Count project (IBC) is an attempt to record civilian deaths attributable to coalition and insurgent military action, sectarian violence and criminal violence in Iraq since the US-led 2003 invasion of Iraq." (Wikipedia)

So, right now you're probably wondering if I'm going to get the information from that site and post it on this blog or if I'm going to stop my posts on Iraq and let the IBC site handle it. To be honest, for now, I'll leave it up to IBC, they are much more thorough and have more time. I hope I didn't disappoint. :\
