Brilliant way to put things in perspective. We used to know the difference between real wars and the fake ones the crybaby pols like to dream up to sound tough. As the Headline from the UK said this morning: “France can defeat the terrorists only by sticking to its’ principles” America should try that.

One nut with a truck has apparently done more damage in France than all the “terrorists” have accomplished since 9/11 in the US. Of course, “terrorists” like Dylan Roof, or at Roseburg Oregon don’t count because they aren’t “Islamists”.

The body count at the beginning of hostilities is always low. It grows with the passage of time.

Already the insane right wingers are taking about nuking the mideast. Remember when we would fire missiles into mid east wedding parties and kill hundreds at a time? It would get a small paragraph on page 5. Remember W’s happy war reports when we were dropping five hundred pound bombs? We’ve been bombing the mid-east since the GHW Bush admin, is it any wonder they would like to see us dead?

The chart exaggerates the impact of Terrorists. Taking the block representing Iraq war at 185,000, and the block of Terrorist dead about a third as tall, the Terrorist number should be around 60,000. Of course, this is not a criticism of the art work, since a stack of 95 drawn to proportion would be invisible.

Question? How do you post pictures here?

600% killing increase since 2010/11.

Tell that to their families, that their lives didn’t count.
