U.N.: 14,000 Iraqis killed in 2006
Holy city bomb kills 45; Armed robbers hit Baghdad bank


BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- More than 14,000 civilians have been killed in Iraq in the first half of this year, an ominous figure reflecting the fact that "killings, kidnappings and torture remain widespread" in the war-torn country, a United Nations report says.
Killings of civilians are on "an upward trend," with more than 5,800 deaths and more than 5,700 injuries reported in May and June alone, it says.


Oh my God.

Civilians in Iraq being killed by other civilians isn't "Terrorism" it's just business as usual. We fight terrorism, not business as usual. Somalia, Darfur, and many, many other places are just normal life. We've got bigger fish to fry than trying to fix normal life. Sheesh, why doesn't anyone ask about the pig dinner or that hot German President woman?
