Counting the Dead

The VodkaPundit points us to a Newsday article about the mass graves in Iraq. Key numbers:

Up to 300,000 dead

263 mass graves

Key quote:

"We have found mass graves with women and children with bullet holes in their heads," [Sandy Hodgkinson of the US-led Iraqi administration]

Sometimes we really can't get a handle on really large numbers like 300,000. Check out Trojan Horseshoes to see what a large number like that might look like.

Folks, from stories like this, it is hard to not see that Iraq is going to be better off without Saddam than with.
