As violence falls in Iraq, cemetery workers feel the pinch
By Jay Price and Qasim Zein, McClatchy Newspapers Tue Oct 16, 2:40 PM ET
NAJAF, Iraq At what's believed to be the world's largest cemetery, where Shiite Muslims aspire to be buried and millions already have been, business isn't good.
A drop in violence around Iraq has cut burials in the huge Wadi al Salam cemetery here by at least one-third in the past six months, and that's cut the pay of thousands of workers who make their living digging graves, washing corpses or selling burial shrouds.
Few people have a better sense of the death rate in Iraq

There will be mass hysteria of desperation among liberals when we are going to have Victory Parades in US cities starting from March of 2008.

Priceless. I just emailed this to my list.
Reading the article also gives you some new insights into the Religion of Peace. I don’t think that was the author’s intention, however.

I would not be surprised if this will be a headline in the next few months.

God could you imagine the venom of the DBM if that happened! LOL

I am serious when I say this but I can not believe how low the media has sunk. I am sickened by reading this.
To: avacado
Doesn’t this article prove then that the surge is right to save lives, so Bush was right about the surge?

Bush causes unemployment rate to skyrocket in Iraq. Skilled tradesmen thrown out of work, families can’t buy food.

For those of you keeping score at home, that would be 17 x 30 = 510 fewer deaths every single month than during the days of Saddam's Iraq, when I'm sure the trains would have run on time, if there had been any trains. So I guess America's war has already made a lot of Iraqis a whole lot safer, eh? Uhm, er..., welllll, actually, ugh, the Murderous American Occupiers and their lackey allies and the Traitorous Mad-dog Infidel Collaborator Puppet Governemnet have, ummm, killed SO MANY innocent Iraqi civilians, that, uhh, that, hmmmm, that the population density has, errrr, so DECREASED, that [heh heh] it is TOO hard to find, uhh, enough, uhh people to ermmm, MAKE THEIR QUOTA!
