Sorry, Skunk, but the armed forces accounting you supply contains no civilian casualty listings from what I can see. To the extent the "non-hostile" column may be civilian, there aren't even 250 total people dead on the list, much less 250 per 1.

As for Dr. Herald's Dossier, it find it simply incredible. For instance, check out fn.#12 where he cites the bombing of 400 innocent Afghan civilians to this site as a soure:

See what I mean? You tell me if that's credible. Plus what the hell is the "Department of Economics and Women's Study" at the University of New Hampshire? Well, looks like it's newly added to the Dept. of Econ., cause their website doesn't even have it.

Anyway, I do note that Dr. Herold is a Euro-import whose original degree is from Zurich in the late 60's, for what it's worth. Now it is true that he got his masters and PhD at Berkeley, certainly well-repsected. However, I've been there and have known a lot of folks there, and for every sane intellectual turned out there is at least one SF/CA-namby pamby-inundated kook turned out.

But, what does it for me is the comb-over. I simply cannot trust or rely on anyone whose comb-over is such an obvious and pathetic lie.
