I was in my car yesterday listening to NPR news when this subject came up. Mind you that I'm aware of civilian causality rates in wartime and don't find the tally of 100,000+ civilians overly shocking so much as the total our government officials are claiming at a mere 25,000 civilian deaths:
It's ironic that the majority of the civilian causalities are being caused by air strikes meant to lower the civilian death toll. From what I heard in the broadcast, the mathmatical formula Leis used is very precise and highly regarded in the scientific community as the best means of conducting reports of this nature. Other than that, I donât have much of an opinion on the subject, but thought Iâd share this interesting article with the LL.
