Come on, tell the good news about killing

Guest post from my friend Jess, an aspiring blogger:

Hey, guys,why don't we ever hear the good news about Iraq?

I mean, like, OK, the President said 30,000 civilians have been killed, and that's not so good. But it could have been more, like 300,000 or 3 million or something. Let's keep it in perspective.

But 45,000 insurgents have been "killed or detained," so that's really good news, isn't it? And we never hear about that.

I mean, come on, the ratio of insurgents to civilians is 3 to 2. Of course, all of those insurgents aren't dead, I guess, and all of the civilians are, so maybe it's closer to even.

But that's still good news, isn't it? Well, isn't it? Come on, you guys.
