« Today’s Plame Gate Round Up - Updated | Main | The New York Times Lied, People Died »
October 25, 2005

How about a little perspective folks?

In 1860, the US population was a little over 10% of what it is today.

How many American troops died in the Civil War?

Between 600,000 and 700,000.

Can you imagine CBS or the NYT supporting a war to free slaves with deaths totalling between 6 and 7 million? Me neither.

The 1st Maine Heavy Artillery, in a charge at Petersburg, Virginia, 18 June, 1864, sustained a "record" loss of the war-635 of its 9oo men within seven minutes.
