The Failed Pacifist

"Bomb a Day" Stories are Discouraging

Last night, First Lady Laura Bush told Larry King that we just aren't hearing the stories about how good it's going in Iraq.

This is their opportunity to seize the moment, to build a really good and stable country. And many parts of Iraq are stable now. But, of course, what we see on television is the one bombing a day that discourages everybody.

Except, that one bombing a day seen on TV actually misses the other 184 attacks that occur on an average day, according to the most recent report from the Brookings Institution.
