American Views Abroad

 
In emails received today, one is from a good friend who keeps an update on the statistics of how many use Google to 'impeach Bush'. As of today 2,290,000 have done so. On September 14th the number was 965,000.

Another email passed along concerns the 100,000 Rings---Bell Ceremony which will take place between the 24th and 28th of this month to usher in the anniversary of The Lancet Study, which was released last October 29th and claimed 100,000 Iraqi civilians had been killed since the start of this war of choice. Unfortunately, it found little to no interest in mainstream journalism in the US which is particularly distressing since it was only days before the 2004 election. The idea is to get 100 communities to ring a bell 1,000 times, one ring per minute for a total of 100,000 bell rings to grieve and honor the deaths of Iraqis and try to spur interest in The Lancet Study.
