What About an Afghanistan Body Count?
I'm glad to see that there's an Iraq Body Count, as the cost of war needs to be presented. But, shouldn't there be an Afghanistan Body Count too? Many liberals are afraid to criticize the war in Afghanistan, as if it's unpatriotic, but Afghanistan is going the way of Iraq. It's becoming clear that the strategy of war as a way to confront the violent religious radicalism there is not working.
Today brings the news about six dead coalition soldiers killed in Afghanistan, 2 from non-US NATO countries, and 4 American soldiers.

How long until we get an Afghanistan Body Count? Anyone here willing to take up the project?
