Numb Bores

I break down the numbers; So far, Cheney's Halliburton has made about $1.7 billion, or...

$283,000 per injured US soldier (6000)
   or
$5,944,000 per dead US soldier (286)
   or
$243,000 per dead Iraqi civilian (~7000... hmm a bit more than the WTC) - of course, it's very likely that lots of "non-civilian" deaths were also civilians
   or
$100,000,000 per dead journalist (17)

Who says big government and big business can't get along?

unknown total number of iraqis... you have to have the innocent adjective applied to you before your life matters enough for unfunded third parties to count your body i guess
