Wolfgang, GROK is correct. Amos' post was an echo back to a different thread where DougR was arguing a similar point.

The numbers-game that GUEST noted is quite appropriate here. The numbers dead from all nations in this conflict should also be noted in the American media, but the media have blinders on regarding anyone who falls into the "Other" category. Yesterday NPR did have a brief discussion as to the numbers all around, including the information that while there are over 1000 dead now, there are many thousands of American troops who have been wounded (something around 7000). I didn't hear/don't know numbers for non-Americans combatants and civilians wounded vs. killed.
