I saw in the paper recently a chart depicting how many times the US has fired on Iraq, or Iraqi planes, in the last few months, it was a long strip of white stripes and black stripes, kind of like piano keys only the black stripes were as long as the white stripes, and there were just about as many black ones as white ones. My recollection is that it was in the Washington Post, which would mean that I read it in the last day or two, but it could have been any issue since August 5, as I am playing catch-up. I think the reason the article you saw wasn't on page one is that it's old news, but I agree that it's strange that we are so frequently engaged in war-like acts with Iraq and nobody seems to care.
If it had been my assignment to depict the frequency, I think I would have used a calender, with little explosions on days we bombed Iraq. |
