George Bush: the war president

Michael Moore's website no longer has the mosaic of President George Bush made up of tiny images of the faces of american soldiers killed in Iraq. The original can still be seen here. Faces of the fallen at the Washington Post website has a continually updated image gallery of those americans who have died in Iraq.

Mind you, it seems to me that the whole thing would be even more useful as a form of anti-war rhetoric if the same kind of thing were to be done to include and mingle the faces of all the alliance soldiers, various agency and contract workers, and last but not least, all the iraquis killed in Iraq during the same space of time...

For some statistics you can follow the link to the antiwar.com website, where there are in fact some estimates of non-american dead too.
