war and peace... make that just war

Thanks to Boing Boing for these links:

I need these visual reminders that in talking about these armed conflicts - let's call them what they are - wars - we are talking about hundreds / thousands of lives - by far the majority of them, civilians, being killed.

Israel/Lebanon conflict: death counter webpage
Each coffin represents a single person killed in the on-going conflict between Israel and Lebanon.
Current Figures:
Israel: 51
UN: 4
Lebanon: 405

American/Iraqi conflict: death counter webpage
Each coffin represents 25 people killed in the on-going conflict between the USA and Iraq [yes the conflict includes more than Americans, but this chart shows only Iraqi and American deaths].
