Interesting. However - at least, officially - we have shot and killed "30 Afghans and wounded 80 others since last summer"; let's say, in 9 months. Too many, obviously- but averages out at fewer than four killed per month and fewer than 10 wounded per month.

That hardly qualifies as "slaughter".

My question: How many before last summer?

I know nothing of journalist Chris Floyd other than what I read a few minutes ago but his writing in another column (quote):The sad, degraded, destructive state of the "left" in modern America is clearly shown by...(enquote) does not quite clearly show he has no axe to grind.
