So today on the NPR-beginning-of-the-hour news update I hear Donald Rumsfield or John Ashcroft (aren't they one in the same?) stating that the violence and killing and danger in Iraq is "no worse than any American city..." and further stating that we "just don't hear about all the killings" over here in our fair cities on a daily basis. I pulled over and puked my guts out. If I can find a link to the story, I'll post it.
