I found this visual display of quantified lives affecting. Personally, I don’t think any conclusion follows from it: If you support the war, it’s a record of sacrifice; if you don’t, it’s an accounting of futility. But either way it’s a reminder.

Before you complain that it doesn’t show Iraqi deaths, read the “About” pages. (Thanks to Salon for the link.) [Tag: iraq]

Another reminder: What would an animated map of Hiroshima look like 60 years ago?
