National Geographic came in the mail yesterday. Headline article is on the Shiites of Iraq.
Estimate is that five to seven million of them "disappeared" in the last ten years under Sadaam.
Seeing how quickly this fact gets buried makes it clear that the current cost/benefit analysis of the anti-war effort is limited to the question of "will this help in unelecting Bush?" It is worth millions of lives to them (OPLs, of course) to vote him out. The argument is really no deeper than that.
