Virginia Tech

Apr 18, 2007 01:05

So I feel bad about it, and I have some friend who go there who I was a little worried about at first... but then again, why is the media SO into this. Why will we have to spend the next month being beaten over the head with it. Do I/You/We actually have any sense of value of life what-so-ever?

A little perspective please...

32 people died at Virginia Tech on April 17, 2007

64 US troops died in Iraq between April 1, 2007-April 18, 2007

244 US troops died in Iraq between January 1, 2007-March 31, 2007

733 Iraqi Security Forces and Civilians died in Iraq between April 1, 2007-April 18, 2007

5222 Iraqi Security Forces and Civilians died in Iraq between January 1, 2007-March 31, 2007

1 Anna Nicole Smith died in Florida on February 8, 2007

Most of these Stats were gathered from http://icasualties.org/oif/

I am still not sure who will get more press... Virginia Tech or Anna Nicole and her baby.
