The Bleak Numbers
The death toll in Iraq from secterian violence has averaged a 100 a day for the past month.
Israel continues to ravage Lebanon. Hezbollah isn't killing as many or destroying as much, but it seems to be mostly because it can't.
Meanwhile, violence has broken out before DR Congo's first election since 1960. (In case you hadn't noticed since the media hardly ever covers it, that's the deadliest conflict in the world since world war II. About 4 million people have died in the past six years.. That's more than the entire population of Lebanon.).
