Iraqi Gravediggers Are Hurting

"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." " Yes, the death rate for civilians (killed by Islamic terrorists, of course) is going down by as much as one-third. You'd think that would be cause for rejoicing. But the liberals can find a "victim" in ANYTHING. Personally, I'd sooner find a different job, rather than decry the falling death rate. But that's not how our liberals do things. They look at EVERYTHING as a "static situation" and assume gravediggers can't find other jobs. They merely whine about the falling death rate and its effect on gravediggers. Sheesh! I couldn't possibly make this stuff up, folks, I don't have that wild an imagination.
