During the last week, Iraq Body Count lists 57 Iraqi civilians killed. Although we don't have contemporaneous information for Afghanistan, the latest counts list 3,021 Afghan civilian deaths for 2011 and 12,793 since 2006. Not surprisingly, Afghan President Hamid Karzai declared that he was "at the end of his rope" over the killing of civilians on Friday.
