TRACKING THE NUMBERS

As the "surge" continues to work in Iraq, Coalition military deaths for 2008 are down to 194. Still too many, but a huge drop from previous years. In the meantime, deaths in Tijuana, Mexico... just across the border from San Diego... are now up to 232, year-to-date! Where's the outrage and international concern about what the drug cartels and corruption are doing to that country? It's a problem we ignore at our own peril.
