May Deadliest Month so far in Baghdad. Democracy's Coming!

http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/c/a/2006/06/04/MNGBSJ89RK1.DTL

The numbers and accounts from residents depict neighborhoods descending further into violence and fear.

Last month, 1,398 bodies were brought to the central morgue, according to Ministry of Health statistics, 243 more than April. The count doesn't include soldiers or civilian victims of explosions, on whom autopsies are not usually conducted.

Since 2003, at least 30,240 bodies have been brought to the morgue, the vast majority of them shot by gunmen who are seldom caught or prosecuted. Bodies often lie unclaimed in the streets for hours.

1. Stay the course (corpse)

Six more months, they're in their last throes, the Iraqi army is getting ready, stay the course, stay the course, stay the course, stay the course, stay the course, stay the course, stay the course.

MALFUNCTION! MALFUNCTION! MALFUNCTION! MALFUNCTION! MALFUNCTION!

This system has performed an illegal operation and desperately needs to be shut down, now!

It's all a video game to them. No death, no pain, no suffering, no psychological trauma, and no tortured soul. Just a jolly good way to spend an afternoon doing something exciting, and a big reward when the game is won. $$$
