The 600,000 figure isn't trustworthy, coming as it does from a source that is anti-American-foreign-policy-success first and carefully accurate a distant second. The methodology used to make this estimate is open to considerable question to put it mildly. The actual figure may be a twelfth that -- circa 50,000, and how much of that Iraqi-on-Iraqi in this low-grade civil war?

And still the real brawling stays in the Sunni provinces, after years of troublemaking. Seems it can't spread to any effect, which gives me hope for a democratic and wise and humane future for Iraq.
