Interesting Statistic

Reuters is reporting that

Some 146 people die each week in the northern region where rebels of the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) have waged war against the Uganda government for two decades. War-related deaths in the region are three times higher than the number of killings in Iraq since the US-led invasion that toppled the regime of Saddam Hussein in 2003 -- a death rate that represents 0.17 deaths per 10,000 people, compared with 0.052 per 10,000 in Iraq, according to the report, entitled "Counting the Cost: 20 years of war in northern Uganda."

We don't hear much about this issue, while the media concentrates on making Iraq look like Dante's lowest circle of Hell.
